Asiri Warns of Security 'Deterioration' in Lebanon, Rules Out Threats against Embassy
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Saudi Ambassador Ali Awadh Asiri said on Wednesday that the security situation in Lebanon 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 Saudi Arabia's missions abroad.
Asiri pointed out that the Saudi embassy in Lebanon has “established security plans that would fit any unexpected development.”
Asked about the conditions of Saudi nationals present in Lebanon, 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 Lebanon 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 Lebanon because of the dangerous situation.
The warning came two days after a twin suicide bombings killed 25 people near the Beirut embassy of Saudi's regional rival Iran, which is located in the stronghold of Tehran ally Hizbullah.
Media reports said Lebanon had "entered into the era of suicide bombings," adding that the attackers had "resorted to the takfiri (extremist Sunni) heritage sponsored by the Saudi kingdom with millions of dollars".
Saudi Arabia supports the rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Assad.
An al-Qaida-affiliated group, the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it is aimed at pressuring Hizbullah to withdraw its fighters from Syria.

the fact is that some criminals attacked his house and robbed him. now if i was in his shoes and someone attacked the place my family sleeps. i dont care whoever it may be. i used to respect lebanons army before it was infiltrated by iran and co . what did he say that find so offending ??? Maybe hezb iran was disgised in army clothes. i dont trust either. they are both tools in killing the sunnis, controlled by the same people. yes there is some soldiers who dont agree but after they killed wissam al hassan, whos left

'Maybe hezb iran was disgised in army clothes'
not maybe, hizbos in fatigues were present, thats fact. They 'helped' the army...
But since the beginning assir wanted to respond to hizbos harassment with weapons which is stupid coz they control the country.
Just imagine if he had go on with just speeches and videos, how much a pain u would have been for the Hizb. Now he has been silenced.
He played, he lost...

actually you are misinformed friend. assir never wanted to respond with weapons, when he held a sit demonstration in saida his followers were attacked with a grenade, when his followers were being areested and tortured, when the women who were wearing niqab were harrased. they kept biting on the wound until it reached a point were they had to arm to defend themself.look how many polticians in leabon were assasinated . i think most of them knew about the threat of hazb iran but they were still unable to prevent there death, what m sayng that he reaslied the threat they posed so he had every right to defend himself.

عند الشيعه : المهدي اللي في السرداب شعره أخضر وليس أسود
أولا : يروى الكليني في كتابه الكافي : " علي بن محمد، عن الحسين ومحمد ابني علي بن إبراهيم، عن محمد بن علي بن عبد الرحمن العبدي من عبد قيس عن ضوء بن علي العجلي عن رجل من أهل فارس سماه قال: أتيت سامرا ولزمت باب أبي محمد (ع) فدعاني فدخلت عليه وسلمت فقال: ما الذي أقدمك؟ قال: قلت: رغبة في خدمتك، قال: فقال لي: فألزم الباب قال: فكنت في الدار مع الخدم، ثم صرت أشتري لهم الحوائج من السوق وكنت أدخل عليهم من غير إذن إذا كان في الدار رجال قال: فدخلت عليه يوما وهو في دار الرجال فسمعت حركة في البيت فناداني: مكانك لا تبرح، فلم أجسر أن أدخل ولا أخرج، فخرجت علي جارية معها شيء مغطى، ثم ناداني ادخل، فدخلت ونادي الجارية فرجعت إليه، فقال لها: اكشفي عما معك، فكشفت عن غلام أبيض حسن الوجه وكشف عن بطنه فإذا شعر نابت من لبته إلى سرته أخضر ليس بأسود، فقال: هذا صاحبكم، ثم أمرها فحملته فما رأيته بعد ذلك حتى مضى أبو محمد (ع)" [كتاب الكافي الجزء 1 صفحة 328 باب الإشارة والنص إلى صاحب الدار]
