    Story here and a nice pic for the ladies.
    The wealthy Gulf prince at the centre of a "torture tape" scandal has been accused of attacking at least 25 other people in incidents that have also been caught on film, it has been claimed.

    Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahyan is now under investigation in the United Arab Emirates after the shocking tape showed him beating a man with a nailed plank, setting him on fire, attacking him with a cattle prod and running him over.

    But now lawyers for American businessman Bassam Nabulsi, who smuggled the tape out of the UAE, have written to the justice minister of Abu Dhabi - the most powerful of the emirates that make up the UAE - claiming to have considerably more evidence against Issa.

    "I have more than two hours of video footage showing Sheikh Issa's involvement in the torture of more than 25 people," wrote Texas-based lawyer Anthony Buzbee in a letter obtained by the Observer.

    Total trash, the sooner the Gulf oil runs out the better.

    This guy is the bother of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan who owns Manchester City fc.

    Just like the Americans needed cotton and so allowed slavery? Or the German housewives who queued up for Jews' confiscated furniture? Ah shure what can I do?
