-----------------------------------



The wave of protest has now spread to Oman. On Sunday, up to six people
were reportedly killed when government forces fired on protesters
demanding political reform. Protesters set government buildings ablaze
and launched a sit-in demonstration in the city of Sohar. Sultan Qaboos
Bin Said has ruled Oman since 1970.
