| Foiled: Plot to kill Saudi envoy | |
| 2015-05-04 | |
| [ArabNews] Saudi Ambassador to Leb Ali Awad Asiri confirmed on Sunday that there was an liquidation attempt against him by a major terrorist group. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... he said, the Lebanese authorities had not given him details of the attempt, which also targeted the Saudi Embassy staff in Beirut. "My safety and the safety of Saudi mission are the responsibility of the Lebanese security forces," Asiri told Al-Arabiya news channel. The ambassador's confirmation came after Al-Shara magazine reported that the Lebanese police had foiled an attempt against Asiri and that two individuals -- a Syrian and a Paleostinian -- were tossed in the calaboose Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! for their involvement in the plot. Some Saudi bloggers suspected Tehran's role behind the liquidation attempt while some others said Hezbollah would have played a role.
