Saudi Condemns 'Terrorist' Lebanon Bombing
Saudi Arabia condemned on Saturday the "terrorist" car bombing that killed Internal Security Forces Intelligence Bureau head Brigadier General Wissam al-Hasan, and warned of chaos if the culprits were not caught.
The kingdom "condemns this criminal act," a Saudi official said in a statement carried by the SPA state news agency.
He said the assassination Hasan on Friday is a "proof that the culprit of this vile terrorist act that targeted Lebanon's security and stability lacks all moral, Islamic and human values."
"Saudi Arabia stresses that it is important to find the culprits, because not dealing with this matter could lead to chaos, the killing of honorable men and jeopardize Lebanon's security," the statement said.
The assassination of Hasan, who blamed Damascus for a series of political assassinations in Lebanon including that of former premier Rafik Hariri, has shaken the country's fragile political structure.
