"Well, if somebody wants to rid the beaches of, for example, rats, fine, but then the public should be warned, so that what happened this morning, or worse, can be prevented"

OK I go along with that.

If, as Scarlett found out today, there is a problem which may affect the public, then yes, of course it should be prevented, but I don't think I'd go down the HEADLINE tabloid route before I knew the facts.

OK. You will say: but what if a kid was on that same dune? I think Scarlett has identified the area as Al Wakra - NOT every beach in Doha. no?
