Saudi police are hunting for arsonists who torched a woman's car, only a week after the kingdom lifted a decades-long ban on female motorists. Salma al-Sherif, a 31-year-old cashier based near the holy city of Makkah, told local media that her car had been deliberately set alight this week by men "opposed to women drivers".
"The incident is being investigated by security officials," Makkah police said in a statement released late Tuesday by local authorities.
