However since the horrible fire in the Vilagio Mall which has become a national embarrassement for Qatar I have now read online that there are a number of lapses in quality standards at the terminal. Hence it looks like late 2013 before the inspectors finally give the green light. I am still pretty sure Mr. Baker will kick a few arse's to hit that deadline date, just a pity he does not kick some arse on the ground has well.
