I enelose ani aTasrract from Egyptian review.
The author was in Bahrain for about a month but was unwell -
most of the time and so escaped notice. I e stayed with Shaiich
I'uhammad most of the time so his diatribe against the al .Qia-
lifah is not in the best of taste-
His views on Banrain will interest you, but I
am afraid they have annoyed Shaiich Ha.riad and bave enhanced
his mistrust of Journalists# I think if would be an excellent
thing if they were all refused visas unless the Bahrain Govern
ment sanctioned the grant of one, after a reference had been
made to them. They come here in troops, and their only object
is thinly veiled blacJcmail.
His remark about ^atar will interest you too.
Yours sincerely
