Suggested answer Mr Hayek thought that Mr Ibrahim, his new neighbour, was sending Omar and Waleed to kidnap him. Mr Hayek heard Mr Ibrahim discussing the plan for three consecutive days while he was on his way to his flat. It appears that Mr Ibrahim and Sawsan Yousef are the scriptwriters of a TV show. They were writing a new script. Omar and Waleed are actors. |
