Hezbollah Condemns Suicide Attacks in Saudi Arabia

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement condemned suicide bombings which struck three cities across Saudi Arabia and killed at least four victims, saying the crimes should prompt countries supporting terrorism to reconsider their policies.

The explosions targeted US diplomats, Shiite worshippers in the country’s east and the security headquarters at a mosque in the holy city of Medina following days of bombings claimed by Daesh (ISIL) which killed hundreds in Turkey, Bangladesh and Iraq, the Daily Star reported.

“The spread of takfiri crimes should prompt states, governments and international and regional organizations to review their stances from terrorism and from the provision of arms, money and political and media support [for terrorist groups] along with covering and justifying their crimes,” a Hezbollah statement said.

“particularly that it turned out that some powers supporting it [terrorism] have become one of its major victims.”

Hezbollah said the attack near one of Islam’s holiest sites in the final days of the Holy Month of Ramadan was another sign “of how these terrorists disregard all that is sacred to Muslims and all that which they agreed to respect.”

Multiple bomb attacks struck Saudi Arabia at the Holy City of Medina, the eastern city of Qatif and the port city of Jeddah on Monday.
