HAD FILLED PETROL INSTEAD OF DIESEL

Obama's limousine had come to a halt on the way

 American President Barak Obama is on a tour in Israel these days. As a result of petrol being filled instead of diesel the limousine which he had requested to be sent to Israel had to be taken away for repairs. The incident had taken place before he was to embark in Israel from Tel Aviv Airport.Because of security reasons, the American President was used to the custom of using one of his own vehicles in foreign travels prior. Prior to this tour the President had made arrangements to transport the limousine he had been using. Later, on the occasion when the President arrived at the Airport, the chauffeur had filled the fuel and brought the limousine. He had mistakenly filled petrol instead of diesel which ultimately resulted in the engine becoming inactive. Later, it was taken away for repairs mounted on a truck.
          The Israel government however provided with another limousine to Obama for him to be transported to his hotel. After a few hours another limousine from Washington was sent to Obama for use on his tour.
          The limousine which got involved in the mishap is named 'the Beast' and is bulletproof, manufactured by General Motor Company under the most modern technology and belongs to the Cadillac-type. It is 18 feet in length and holds 7 passengers. The vehicle has been built with a teargas sprayer which can be used for security purposes as and when the occasion demands. In addition there are firing equipment as well. The vehicle has a covering of 5 inches thickness composed of steel, aluminium, titanium and ceramic. It is said that this vehicle costs 2000 lakhs of SL rupees.
