The editor of Al-Watan, a Saudi newspaper, has been sacked less than two months after taking up his position for allowing criticism of the religious establishment, journalists in the daily said on Tuesday. 

 

Sources close to the daily said the order to dismiss Jamal Khashoggi came after he allowed open criticism of the Kingodm's influential Islamic religious circles. (Albawaba.com)
