RIYADH/JEDDAH, 31 December 2006 — Riyadh Gov. Prince Salman joined hundreds of thousands of citizens and expatriates in offering Eid Al-Adha prayers on the old Deira Eid Ground here yesterday. Several members of the royal family, religious scholars, ministers and high-ranking officials also attended the prayers, while the Eid celebrations, later in the day, were largely overshadowed by the news of execution of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.
