Thanx for the posting. This could explain the main reason for the delay. The last paragraph is a tad scary, especially where it states"before the ministry takes back the land plots"!! Having said that, it has always appeared that Frank and Charlie have had their eyes on the ball,going back to Quatar,as far as family oriented tourism, and not just another load of condos and houses! I believe all of the investors would appreciate a timely response from management in light of this newest article entitled" New phase of development in Oman", dated TODAY, 4/16/ 2012. Thank you, in advance for your response. BILL
