Anti-Witchcraft Unit

Saudi Arabia created in 2009 an Anti-Witchcraft Unit charged with apprehending sorcerers and reversing the detrimental effects of their spells in the Gulf country. The Jerusalem Post writes that
"In accordance with our Islamic tradition we believe that magic really exists," Abdullah Jaber. "The fact that an official body, subordinate to the Saudi Ministry of Interior, has a unit to combat sorcery proves that the government recognizes this, like Muslims worldwide."

On the contrary, the 'official body' is clearly very effective.
