Honor Killings Reduce in Oman by 2% from 2007

Masqat, Oman: Officials at the Omani government welcomed a recent report released by the United Nations which shows that there has been a 2% decrease in the number of honor killings in the small oil rich state of Oman. While the officials could not explain the reasons for the decrease with one minister saying, "it even surprised us."

Pivazistan contacted Sultan Qabus who also serves as the acting minister of all ministries in an attempt to get to the bottom of the story, the Sultan stated that he thought the girls "behaved better in 2008 than they did in 2007."
