| [An Nahar] Saudi Ambassador Ali Awadh Asiri said on Wednesday that the security situation in Leb is "deteriorating," denying that the mission received lately any threats. "We haven't received any threats in particular but we are taking all the necessary security measures," Asiri said in comments published in the Saudi al-Watan daily on the sidelines of the third general meeting of Saudi ambassadors and heads of the Kingdom of Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... 's missions abroad. Asiri pointed out that the Saudi embassy in Leb has "established security plans that would fit any unexpected development." Asked about the conditions of Saudi nationals present in Leb, the diplomat said that "there aren't several compatriots in Beirut," considering that the security situation is "deteriorating." "We have already warned our citizens not to head to Leb and we are following up the status of the nationals who are already there," Asiri said. In November, Saudi Arabia's embassy in Beirut has called on citizens to leave Leb because of the dangerous situation. |
