إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Saudi Embassy in Beirut has tasked a team to sue al-Akhbar newspaper after Saudi Ambassador Ali Awadh Asiri accused it of publishing rumors about Riyadh, al-Watan daily reported on Friday.
The Saudi newspaper said that a lawsuit will be filed against “al-Akhbar which has become famous for belonging to the Iran-Hizbullah-Syria axis.”
Al-Akhbar is seeking to promote the principles of the “resistance axis,” said the report.
Al-Watan also quoted Asiri as saying that the pro-Hizbullah Lebanese newspaper is promoting lies against Saudi Arabia and its leadership.
“It is time to put an end to this,” the diplomat said.
The newspaper snapped back at Asiri later on Friday, describing his remarks as “a direct threat to the lives of the institution’s employees, a blatant attack on the freedom of expression in Lebanon and a flagrant violation of norms and laws.”
It held the ambassador and his government fully responsible for “any form of moral, material or physical harm.”
Al-Akhbar also noted that it “reserves the right to sue him and prosecute him before all judicial authorities and relevant bodies in Lebanon, at the Arab level and in the world.”

The case will be tried in a US court under Israel's rules of civil procedure, in a complicated arrangement worked out through the UN. No reporting about the case will be allowed until one hundred years after the death of the youngest participant's child who reaches the age of eighteen.

The following is Al Akhbar's tribute to according to Mr Ibrahim Al Amine is an misunderstood Arab Hero, a Martyr, a Rose as he calls him. Al Amine is so truly heartbroken a the senseless death of this guy, it's so sad seeing him like that. Hell, Al Amine and Al Akhbar were not as emotionally worked up when their first editor and founder Joseph Samaha, very fortuitously for Mr Ibrahim Al Amine and HA as it turned out, died aged 58 of aconvenient sudden heart attack.
PS: If you are in khatt al moumana3a have a box of Kleenex nearby cocked and ready you will be moved by Ibrahim Al Amine's from the heart eulogy..
