Elaph Managing Editor Sultan al-Qahtani is interviewed by Reuters at his office in Riyadh July 9, 2007. Saudi Arabia is blocking one of the Arab world's most popular online news outlets because of pressure from religious conservatives who are "fighting the future," the site's Saudi editor said this week. Since it was launched in 2001, Elaph has become a prominent source of political and entertainment news in the Arab world with around 1.5 million hits a day, Qahtani told Reuters in Riyadh.
