Thirty young Saudis from amongst a group of hooligans who smashed shops in Al Khobar in the course of Saudi National Day celebrations have been given 30 lashes each. Some commentators see the disurbances as evidence of conflict between the young and Saudi Arabia's more conservative elements. "Some Saudi websites say religious conservatives, offended when the young Saudis took part in festivities, provoked a violent confrontation."
