Qatar became the first Middle Eastern country Wednesday to receive Chinese giant pandas – Suhail and Soraya – who, in true Gulf fashion, took up residence in luxury air-conditioned quarters. The Chinese government sent the animals as gift to mark the World Cup that starts November 20. China has not qualified for the event, but is a major customer for Qatar's natural gas.
