<div id="ygrps-yiv-1386866332">The recent ruling of the Int. Court of Justice in the Bahrain - Qatar <br/>
case has cleared the air between the two countries so drastically, <br/>
that there are plans to connect the two by bridge, acc. to <br/>

would be 25 miles long, so it&#39;s not going to be between the Hawar <br/>
Isl. and Qatar, but really between Bahrain proper and Qatar. I read <br/>
somewhere that before they liked eachother as much as they do now, <br/>
Bahrain had plans to build a bridge to the Hawars, in order to <br/>
develop it as a touristic island.<br/>

&gt; How about this &quot;thing&quot; from Saudi Arabia to Bahrain? I am not sure <br/>
&gt; whether it is all bridge, but I think it is longer.<br/>
