...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 embassy in Beirut has called on citizens to leave Leb because of the dangerous situation, its ambassador said Thursday, after some media linked the kingdom to deadly blasts.
"The Saudi embassy sent a text message to (Saudi) citizens in Leb advising them to leave, considering the danger of the situation and out of concern for their safety," the ambassador Ali Awadh Asiri, told AFP.
The warning comes two days after a twin suicide kabooms killed 25 people near the Beirut embassy of Saudi's regional rival Iran, which is located in the stronghold of Tehran ally Hizbullah.
The text messages sent to Saudis in Leb read: "Considering the security situation at the moment and the media campaign, the embassy advises citizens to return home, and advises caution."
Tuesday's attack outside the Iranian embassy were followed by a stinging campaign in some pro-Hizbullah media outlets against Saudi Arabia, accusing the Gulf monarchy of being behind the blasts.
"Saudi Arabia: losses in Syria and suicide in Leb," read a headline on Wednesday in pro-Hizbullah daily al-Akhbar.
On Thursday, al-Akhbar said Leb had "entered into the era of suicide kabooms," adding that the attackers had "resorted to the takfir
