  1. No, the article about giving citizens 15,000 dinar is from Feb 06, 2011... There has been a lot of confusion because of the date being listed as February 2006 2011...

    Someone explained it like this "Sunday 2011. the 2006 reference is Feb 06

    Al Summaria News describes dates very odd"

    I put much faith in what this person says so I am inclined to believe him...along with the rest of the content of the article.

    Just my thoughts...

  2. Hi Angela,

    Actually, that exact same article was printed in 2006. Perhaps they just decided to bring it back out like they've done with so many other older articles. But, I did see the old article with the 2006 date with my own eyes. The content was exactly the same. In either case, I know this received a lot of air time yesterday. So, while it may be an old article, it could very well be they actually are going to give them the 15k.

    Take care,
    Just
