Al-Watan (Saudi Arabia)

"Al-Watan" ( _ar. الوطن) is a leading reformist newspaper in Saudi Arabia. It received some notoriety when its editor, Jamal Khashoggi, was fired for speaking out against the country's hardline Islamist clerics because they refused to denounce the May 2003 Riyadh compound bombings.
