When I first heard the story of girls dying in a Saudi school because the "mutawwain" [ the religious police] wouldn't let school-girls escape a burning building, because they were not properly attired in the customary cover everything black robes, I was to say the least sceptical. But to my horror I came across this article.
March 15, 2002.
King Fahd dismissed the head of the school for lack of fire safety, over crowding, not enough fire exits and extinquishers.
According to Prince Nayef, only 2 members of the mutaween attended to "protect" the girls, but personally I'd take that bit with a pinch of salt.
