Saudi Arabia Blames "Foreign Country" for Clashes 
--------------------------------------------------



Saudi Arabia has blamed an unidentified "foreign country" for clashes
that left 14 people injured Monday night. The unrest took place in the
gulf city of Qatif, located in Saudi Arabia’s oil-rich eastern
province. Residents say the protests started on Sunday after authorities
detained the fathers of two activists wanted for their part in earlier
unrest. More than 100 people were arrested when protests in the area
broke out in February and March.
