عسيري: سعوديون يتعرضون للخطف والسرقة في لبنان والجناة معروفون
Read this story in Englishكشف السفير السعودي لدى لبنان علي عواض عسيري عن عمليات خطف وسرقة لسعوديين في لبنان دون إلقاء القبض على الجناة مع أنهم "معروفون".
وقال عسيري في حديث إلى قناة الـ"MTV" بث مساء الجمعة "لدينا بعض السعوديين الذين اختطفوا وسرقت أموالهم وعرف الجناة ولم يقبض عليهم حتى الآن".
وتابع عسيري قائلا "أنا أتكلم الآن وهناك سعودي سرق منه 250000 ألف دولار والجناة معروفين ولم يلق القبض عليهم حتى الآن".
وعن التحذير السعودي للرعايا لعدم المجيء إلى لبنان أشار عسيري إلى أنه "يكفي أي مسؤول سعودي أن يرى عمليات الخطف في لبنان ليسأل أليس هناك أماكن أخرى يذهبون إليها مع أطفالهم".
إلى ذلك شدد السفير السعودي لدى لبنان أن دعم المملكة "للسوريين في لبنان هو في المساعدات الإنسانية للنازحين السوريين من تجهيز المستشفيات ومأوى لبعض النازحين الآخرين".
وحذرت الخارجية السعودية، الاثنين رعاياها من السفر الى لبنان نظراً "لعدم استقرار الاوضاع" فيه، لتنضم بذلك الى كل من الامارات و قطر والبحرين والكويت بتحذير رعاياهم من التوجه الى لبنان والمتواجدين فيه مغادرته.
ويشهد لبنان اضطرابات يتخللها قطع طرق واشكالات مع الجيش سبقها اعمال عنف واشتباكات في طرابلس.
كذلك منذ بدء الإحتجاجات السورية ضد النظام منذ أكثر من عام خطف العديد من المواطنين السوريين والمعارضين على أرض لبنان .
Yeah, the saudi man was walking around with 250,000USD in cash in his pocket, and suddenly, a well known thief strips him of his money... The security forces would not arrest this thief who by stealing a quarter million dollar lowered the 2012 growth of lebanon by a percentage point. and put 100s of people out of work. Can someone explain the scenario again?
I am sorry about the incidents. but something is fishy here.
this could be a setup case - a business deal of some sort- he may have been lured or plainly robbed in his place of residence. He doesn't have to be walking around with this kind of money.
I am not a pro saudi or pro whatever, it just doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that lebanon is a lawless state with a government within another. I could only tell the shiite of lebanon and aoun that if this is their vision of lebanon, we are doomed.
i dont understand how the culprits are not arrested if they are identified. HA, with all its defaults is trying to gain legitimacy amongst lebanese. They would be stupid if they protect a common thief to gain 250000 usd! ha should give their weapons, but we cannot inpute eache problem in lebanon on them.
Ya a3mi , they are trying to show Saudi that the warning ( not to go to Lebanon ) is serious . Saudi Tourist have always been coming to Lebanon and nothing has ever happen why now ?
well said mr ambassador!!! “It is enough for any Saudi official to observe the kidnap operations in Lebanon in order to advise Saudis to go to other places with their children.”
who else besides the shiaa and syrian thugs commit such murders?
I went to New York a few years ago, And they robbed me of 1000$, and I felt the police in connivance with the theives. I should get the lebanese gouvernment to put a travel advisory against lebanese visiting New York state. And New Jersey. And California. NO. Let them do a travel advisory against the whole north america. Because it is not safe there.
of course, this goes without saying. But the saudi gouverment should not hold the whole country hostage if our politics are not 100 percent aligned with them!
the saudi government is doing what it thinks is right for their own people. it should be expected of every country to do the same in such circumstances. if lebanese politicians had the same priorities in mind, maybe we wouldnt be in such a mess
saudi government is not holding anyone as hostage. their citizens spend lots of money in lebanon and keep the tourist sector afloat and if they can come to lebanon and feel safe then they have duty to advise them against traveling to lebanon. some countries value their citizens more than others!
Actually what he believes does matter. Who do you think you are telling people that what they believe doesn't matter?
Saudis are trying to undermine Mikati Government
Whole Lebanon depends on tourism, it is a major part of the economy.
This is a message to HA, FP, Berri and Mikati
kiserwanyaseel i have to tell you that it is wrong to generalize, not all the shia in lebanon are the tails of syria there are brave shia who dare confronting Hezbollah even more than other sects, i would site Tayyar al Kafaat, i would site Moufti Sour and Jabal Aamel... and many others
I find it hard to believe the story of this Ali. He gave no name of the alleged victims nor he gave reasons for a Saudi carrying in his/her pocket $250,000. Most probably his story is a fabrication that has pernicious political aims.
How about you all go and get a real job. This country would be better off if you channeled your energy to something more productive.
But then they were treated like royalty when they were mounted from behind by a wild donkey.
who told you about Saudi Arabia, have you ever visited this country, I have like so many, this point of view comes only from the urge of finding a counterbalance of accepting the terror of Iran , revolution guards and hizb , that is how you invent (wahabi, s3oudi, salafi and so on), wake up please , or it will be too late
