A senior Saudi diplomat received a gift box last week that contained four hand grenades and a threatening note, the Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan said on Monday.
Ambassador Ali Awab Asseri said his deputy, Abdullah al Omari, received the package containing the grenades after midnight on Thursday along with a note saying he should leave Pakistan within a month.
"A very nice, well-packed parcel in the form of a gift was delivered to the house of Abdullah by a man on a motorcycle," Asseri told Reuters. Asseri said Abdullah would not leave Pakistan in the wake of the threat.
