Telegram (P)
From Political, Kuwait.
To Hicom, Baghdad; repeated to Bushire & Bahrain.
No. 2G4-C.
Dated 29 th December 1920.
Reference my telegram No. 203“G. The camp attacked was at Zaghlah
itself, and not at Mutla*. Dawish stopped there till the 28th.,
as his son ‘Uzalylz was severely wounded and not expected to live,
tfomen refugees from there arriving Jahrah on the 28th say all men
captured alive were killed and some women raped. Ikhwan said they
had permission to visit Zubair for musabalah. They purposed
making Safwan a base from which to raid. They left for Ghadhal on
the morning of the 28th.
The Shaikh is very much perturbed at the rumour about Zubair and
Safwan. He has written me a letter which I am posting to you, the
gist of which is as follows:- Begins: He replied to your communi
cation regarding Jahrah as reported in my telegram No.189-0. He
has stopped all aggression as ordered by Government. Ibn Sa*ud,
however, is not doing so, as on 26th December Dawish with a force
of Ikhwan attacked his tribes who were not prepared, as he had
not thought that Ibn Sa*ud would order an attack in defiance of
Government's orders. On hearing this he sent reinforcements to
Jahrah. He has now heard that Dawish is going to Zubair, but does
not know why. He asks me to inform you. Ends.
Ibn Sa'ud will presumably say he is punishing his disloyal tribes.
In this connection I learn that the Shaikh is building on our
ruling regarding the 'Awazim, contained in Bushire telegram No.
1609 of 6 th September. He argues from this that any tribes which
come over to him ipso facto become his, and cease to b» Ibn Sa'ud's
