Saudi Arabia: Workers set fire to buses after '50,000 sacked and wages unpaid'

Workers at a major Saudi construction firm have set fire to nine company buses in protest over thousands of sackings and their salaries not being paid. Employees at Binladin Group have staged several demonstrations within Saudi Arabia’s Mecca region in recent weeks, with some claiming they have not received their wages for six months. Spokesperson for Mecca’s Civil Defense Major Nayef al-Sharif said no injuries were caused by the fires, and that firefighters had put out the blaze.
