MANAMA (Bahrain) : Photographers cut short a shopping trip by Michael Jackson and his entourage to Marina Mall yesterday.The pop star, wearing a traditional woman's veil and abaya over men's clothes, visited Mothercare, Shoe Mart and Al Hawaj with three children, bodyguards and an unidentified woman at around 1pm.
The woman was also wearing an abaya over her jeans with a scarf partially covering her face. The children's faces were also wrapped in black scarves.
When photographers arrived, the party approached the mall's security guards and told them they did not wish to be photographed, according to sources.
Mr Jackson and his group were then allowed to leave through the mall's back entrance as two photographers snapped away at them.
They entered a parked white Lexus Infinity with darkened glass and left.
