CAIRO, 7 December 2003 — Two Libyans were sentenced to one year in jail apiece by an Egyptian court yesterday for attempting to assault Foreign Minister Prince Saud Al-Faisal.

Mahmud Al-Beshir Ahmad and Fathi Beshir Saad tried to assault Prince Saud in the lobby of a Cairo hotel in September, as the top Saudi diplomat was taking part in an Arab foreign ministers meeting.
