Saudi Arabia Condemns 'Abhorrent' Plot to Kill Envoy
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Wednesday the "sinful and abhorrent" attempt to assassinate its ambassador to Washington, a day after the United States claimed Iran was behind the plot, SPA state news agency reported, quoting an unnamed official.
"The Kingdom strongly condemns the sinful and abhorrent attempt to assassinate the (Saudi) envoy... to the United States," SPA said, quoting the official.
"The government of the kingdom appreciates the efforts exerted by the American authorities, which were followed by the kingdom, in uncovering the plot," the official added.
Falling short of following Washington in naming Iran as the culprit, Saudi Arabia "will continue to coordinate with the US authorities over this mean conspiracy and those behind it," the official said.
The kingdom is also "looking into measures and decisive steps that it will take in this regard to stop these criminal acts, and to firmly address all attempts to shake the stability of the kingdom and endanger its security and sow sedition between its people," he added.
"The kingdom calls on the Arab and Islamic nations and the international community to assume their responsibilities in face of these terrorist acts and the attempts to threaten state stability, and world security and peace," he said.
The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday charged two men with conspiring with Iranian officials to assassinate Saudi ambassador to the United States Adel al-Jubeir.
Iran, which faces four rounds of U.N. Security Council sanctions over its nuclear program, called the U.S. allegations part of an "evil plot" against it, and wrote to the U.N. Security Council, accusing Washington of "warmongering."

Saudi Arabia is too weak to do anything about this.
The Arabs should gather their forces and present a true threat to the Iranian regime . verbal condemnation and speeches will not alter the domination plans of the "supreme leader".

Oh, enough with this fable. A plot to kill an insignificant nobody! As if this guy is the greatest strategist that Saudi Arabia has ever seen. This guy is a nobody who happens to speak English well, unlike his illiterate king and his predecessors. Why would anyone want to waste a bullet on him? And where? In the middle of the United States! PEOPLE!!!!

Funny thing what dogma does to the zombies it controls.
No amount of realism seems to matter.
Recordings are fake. Videotape evidence is doctored. Eyewitnesses are liars. Testimony of individuals is false. International courts are politicized.
And, even in the end, when there is absolutely no question about the culpability of their icons. They will simply justify the actions, no matter how abhorrent it is.
You can see a pretty convincing demonstration of dogma on these pages.
