Pakastani Ambassador Rejected Over Name


From Passport - a foreign policy blog:
Despite having served for years as a distinguished Pakistani diplomat, Akbar Zeb reportedly cannot receive accreditation as Pakistan's ambassador to Saudi Arabia. The reason, apparently, has nothing to do with his credentials, and everything to do with his name -- which, in Arabic, translates to "biggest you-know-what".

U.S. State Department spokesman Richard "Dick" Zinya had no comment.
