From Arab News, 8 July:
JEDDAH: A court in Hail sentenced on Sunday a 35-year-old Saudi woman to 30 days in jail and 100 lashes for accompanying another woman who stormed an elementary school in the Kingdom’s north-central region carrying an assault rifle.
The court is expected to sentence the woman who was carrying the Kalashnikov in the next few days.
The 40-year-old Saudi mother walked into the school, located in the village of Al-Thekra close to Hail, with an AK-47 assault rifle and demanded teachers hand over her son. She was, however, overpowered by the teachers and handed over to the police.
