(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Syrian Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi dismissed the “political” claims, saying they aimed to refute the Saudi-backed bloc’s involvement in sponsoring terrorism in Lebanon and in the Middle East region.
“The recent statement by Saudi ambassador to London and other Saudi officials make clear who should be blamed for this criminality and terrorism,” Syrian Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Abdul Karim said.
The top Syrian diplomat in Beirut said certain regional countries are panicking because of Syria peace talks and are trying to ignite the region from within.
“They know that Syrian-Syrian dialog and political settlements are the only solutions [to the crisis in Syria]. Those who have their bet set on weakening Syria headed by [Saudi intelligence chief] Bandar bin Sultan, [Turkey Prime Minister Recep Tayyip] Erdogan and others are panicking now because their bets have failed,” Abdul Karim stated.
On December 27, at least eight people were killed and over 70 others injured after a huge car bomb went off near the headquarters of Lebanon’s March 14 Alliance and the parliament in Beirut. Former Lebanese finance minister, Mohammad Shatah, was among those killed.
