KSA urges world to address 'terrorist militia' Hezbollah after STL verdicts

Saudi Arabia on Friday welcomed the verdicts that have been issued by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon against “two agents of the terrorist Hezbollah militia” over their role in “the terrorist attack that killed 22 people including ex-PM Rafik Hariri.”

“The international community must shoulder its responsibilities towards Lebanon and its brother people, who are suffering from the terrorist practices of the Iran-backed militia,” the Saudi foreign ministry said in a statement.

It also called on the international community to “work on implementing the U.N. resolutions related to Lebanon and pursuing the perpetrators who deliberately murdered innocents and created unprecedented chaos in this brotherly country,” adding that “they should be arrested in order to fulfill justice.”

Moreover, the Saudi foreign ministry called for “defusing the crises that Lebanon and its people have lived over the past decades” due to Hezbollah’s “terrorist practices.”
