So the news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law, Al-Arabiyyah, explained its daily story about the defection of Faruq Ash-Shar`, which was disproved today by the appearance of Shar` in Damascus. It said that it did not air a correction because it stands by its story: it said that Ash-Shar` has indeed defected but that he interrupted his defection in Amman to come to Damascus for his meeting with an Iranian official, and that he will return to Amman to resume his defection shortly.
