Saudi Arabia has launched an investigation into the handling of last month's flooding in Jeddah that killed at least 150 people. Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah, who ordered the inquiry, has said that those responsible will be punished. There is intense anger in Jeddah over the death and destruction caused by the heavy rainstorm at the end of November. Many blame local authorities for not providing basic protection from floods or acting fast enough when they came.<br/>
