Saudi Arabia’s giant oil company Aramco is now facing a $250,000 suit after a three-year-old camel fell into a large hole dug that served as storage of crude oil.

 

The owner, Abdullah Al-Saiari, said the she-camel was grazing in a desert pasture, about 150 miles (250km) west of Ahsa, when the accident happened.

“She was part of the Camel Beauty Contest,” he said, the Saudi Gazette reported.
