Blood-sucking creature� killing sheep in Fujairah<br>By Salah Al Debarky<br><br>24 November 2005<br><br><br>FUJAIRAH � Rumours of a blood-sucking vampire-like creature preying on sheep have turned the sleepy Fujairah suburb of Sakmakam into a favourite hunting ground for scoop-seeking journalists.<br><br>And it's not just hordes of journalists from both print and electronic media who are making a beeline for the suburb nestling at the foothills, but also car-loads of cops and officials from Fujairah Municipality seeking to unravel the mystery.<br><br>Ask the residents about the 'vampire,' and pat comes the reply: "The creature takes the sheep by the neck, sucks the blood and leaves them dead."<br>Some, however, contest the 'vampire' theory, stating that it was more likely an Arabian leopard or wolves doing the damage, a view shared by the police too. <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.khaleejtimes.com/DisplayArticle.asp?xfile=data/theuae/2005/November/theuae_November617.xml§ion=theuae">www.khaleejtimes.com/Disp...ion=theuae</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=stonefruit>stonefruit</A> at: 11/27/05 8:20 pm<br></i>
