Basil Moftah and Russell Haworth have just pulled off something of a coup in the Middle East internet space.
The two executives run the regional arm of Thomson Reuters, a global information conglomerate, and this week they picked up Zawya, probably the region's best known business website, for about US$40 million (Dh146.9m).
There were others in the bidding, including the Financial Times owner Pearson, as well as Emap, a British company that owns the website AMEinfo based in the UAE. But Thomson Reuters got it - not exactly for a steal but for less than some in the market had suggested.
