MANAMA, 8 July 2005 — Bahraini authorities believe they have found the body of a Saudi man who had mysteriously disappeared on King Fahd Highway late Tuesday night after his car was found abandoned there.

The missing man was sought by Saudi and Bahraini authorities after he failed to pay the toll as he entered the causeway. Police now believe a body washed ashore yesterday off the Budaiya Village coast is his. Budaiya Village is less than 6 kilometers from the causeway.
