Robbery in Wafi, Dubai!

The first time i heard about the story, was by word of mouth, the reason being that the news was published later than the date it actually occured on. Crimes have been neglected or not published before as well. Dubai based news agency were probably restricted from spreading this news to the people early as well. It was probably meant to be kept under the covers - on the low sort of note, agenda setting and gate-keeping, doesnt allow it to come out in the open easily, just like other crimes that didnt get reported in the past! But how could they keep this on the low for long? People had made videos, and besides it was a big loss - jewellery worth, 50 million - GONE!!!

"Unbelievable! Shocking! Astonishing! Lies! No waY!!" Were the words that first came to my mind on hearing aout this! How could it be? In such a safe country like Dubai - or so it appears - How could such a big crime take place?! The police was NOT PREPARED thats for sure! It was the first time something THIS big happened!!

Gulf News reports this:
"Armed robbers raid Wafi jewellery store
By Bassma Al Jandaly, Bassam Za'za', Alia Al Theeb and Sunita Menon, Staff Reporters
Dubai: In a daring robbery, armed men burst into a jewellery store in Wafi City in two cars and made off with a huge amount of jewellery last night, police and witnesses said.
Both the cars used in the heist were stolen; one had a Dubai registration plate while the other was registered in Abu Dhabi, Lieutenant General Dahi Khalfan Tamim, Dubai Police Chief, told Gulf News last night.
No arrests had been made at the time of going to press, but police found the cars, abandoned and burnt, Jamal Al Merri, Deputy Commandant of Dubai Police, told Gulf News.
He said the robbers crashed into the jewellery store Graff, on the ground floor of the mall at around 9.30pm. "This is the first time I've seen such a scene in Dubai," he said..."

Okay.. so IF i were too publish or broadcast this, how would i do it?!
I would begin with publishing it right the next day of the crime, instead of waiting for it to be a little older! It is NEWS for crying out loud, its supposed to be spread fast and all around! People need to know that wherever there is growing population, growth and popularity, and plus think about the inflation too, there will be an increase in the crime rate too. All the big cities of the world have been through this!! But will Dubai loose its image as being 'a safe city'? Well i guess not, one crime won't affect people as much, and that is why the true report must be shown to them. If i had to spread this news about Wafi, i would choose to use both the print media as well as Television broadcast! The saddam hussain's death penalty video shown all over the world, was not a professional one, that too was taken by a phone video. This crime scene video too that spread rapidly, was taken by a mobile camera! So, i would firstly show that on Television, so people would have an idea of how the crime happened, and why it couldnt be stopped right then and there! Then i would move on to reporting it, and commenting on it, adding that just because it happened once, doesnt mean it would happen again! Dubai is a protected city, it will continue being so, the difference between now and then will be only that, this time Dubai police and National security was not prepared for somethign like this, but next time they will be!! Its better to be safe than sorry!

Thanks!!
I still havent stopped believing that Dubai is safe!! --> maybe this is just reflecting my bias! (oops)
