A widely-circulated SMS text message created a certain degree of panic among people here yesterday. Panic gripped the public as mobile text messages flew thick warning massive flooding of Aids virus-injected watermelons in the market.

The message from unidentified quarters said that over one million melons, injected with Aids virus, have been smuggled into Qatar through Al Shamal road. The SMS message continued to pour in till late evening.

The Qatar Ministry of the Interior picked it up and sorted it out though.
