Report: Saudis Advised to Stay Away from Downtown Beirut
Saudi Arabia has advised its citizens to steer clear of downtown Beirut against the backdrop of an assault on a prince several weeks ago, Saudi embassy sources said.
The sources told pan-Arab daily al-Hayat in remarks published on Sunday that the advisory was sent to Saudis residing and studying in Lebanon.
The embassy also advised Saudi tourists to stay away from the downtown area.
In September, a group of Lebanese youths beat the Saudi prince when he refused to abide by the order of a policeman to move his vehicle from a no-parking area.
