Report: Hizbullah 'to Respond' to Saudi 'Activities' in Lebanon
Saudi intelligence are involved in the deadly suicide bombing that targeted the Iranian embassy in southern Beirut and the resistance “will respond to the attack,” Iran's Fars news agency quoted an informed source as saying on Tuesday.
"Riyadh will pay the price doe its activities,” the source assured, explaining that Saudi Arabia is “carrying out such attacks because of its rage following its defeats in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.”
The source elaborated: “Saudis want to compensate for their frustration as they are always losing. They want to create a chaotic atmosphere in Lebanon but they are unable to achieve this.”
"Saudi Arabia is facing difficult situations nowadays and its attitudes towards a nation like Russia will not do it any good, but would further complicate these conditions. A person like Russian President Vladimir Putin will not retreat in front of such acts.”
Twenty-five people were killed and over 140 wounded in twin bombings near the Iranian embassy in Beirut on November 19, 2013.
The al-Qaida-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades claimed responsibility for the bombings and Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah accused Saudi Arabia of being behind the deadly attacks.
“We believe the statement in which the Abdullah Azzam Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack on the Iranian embassy, because it is a well-known group and its emir is Saudi and it is linked to the Saudi intelligence,” Nasrallah had stated.
