Newborn boy found on Saudi beach

Saudi border and coast guards on a routine patrol stumbled across a newborn baby boy at a beach in the Gulf Kingdom, a newspaper said on Wednesday.

'Sabq' quoted their spokesman Major Hassan Al Qusaibi as saying the baby was found at a deserted beach in the Southern Jizan province and was taken to hospital.

He said it was the second time a baby is found on that beach this year, adding that police opened an investigation to catch those involved.
