From the NY Sun:
The story of Sarah Saga, an American citizen holed up with her two children in the American Consulate at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, has a ring that is all too familiar. Ms. Saga, kidnapped in 1985 at the age of 6 by her Saudi father when she was on a visit to Saudi Arabia, faces a choice: Go home to America without her son and daughter or leave the consulate to face beating or even death at the hands of her father or the husband to whom she was married off.
