According to the Gulf News the recent high status terrorist alert in Dubai was based on a conversation between two drunken men at a bar in the Hilton, according to "Diplomatic sources".
One of two drunk Arab man was reported to have said, jokingly:
"If someone wants to scare all these people and make them run away, just say there is a bomb. A belt bomb will kill hundreds of them."
Secret Dubai Diary also reported the story, with a bit of a twist. Is this story real, or a bit of spin doctoring by the UAE government?
In any case, the warning remains.
