Saudi Arabia Hires Google Executive as Consultant

Riyadh, KSA: Pivazistan has learned of a secret deal between Turki bin Faisal al-Saud, Saudi Arabia's former Intel. chief and Omid Kordestani, Google's senior VP for Sales and Field Operations. According to our source, Mr. Kordestani will be visiting Saudi Arabia later this year on a leave of absence from google and will begin working with the Saudi royal family on Arab media acquisitions for the kingdom.

Mr. Kordestani, the chic Iranian-born American was picked for the position because Saudi Arabia and google share a core value: any information that is not ours should either become ours or become eternally destroyed.

As has always been google's tradition, Kordestani is expected to use a top to bottom approach in enhancing the Saudi media empire. He plans on starting with making an offer to al-Jazeera and make his way down to the smallest of TV stations and newspapers across the Arabic-speaking world.

Iran, the Saudis' arch rivals in the region have not commented on their native's willingness to work for the enemy, but absentia charges of treason are expected to be pressed by the Iranian government against Kordestani.

Saudi Arabia: "No Hajj in 2008"

Riyadh, KSA: The Saudi government will officially announce the cancellation of this year pilgrimage to Mecca, an unprecedented decision which will likely affect hundreds of thousands of Muslims. This decision was reached late this evening as a response to bomb threats dispatched to the Saudis from top CIA sources.

The official cancellation decree, however, will likely cite renovation as a reason for cancelling and will not announce the security concerns.
