Saudi Embassy Replies to Wahhab

The Saudi Arabian embassy in Lebanon refuted on Tuesday the “claims” made by head of the Tawhid Party, Wiam Wahhab, affirming the Saudi keenness on Lebanon’s “stability and unity.”

“The Saudi embassy in Lebanon denies allegations made by Tawhid Party head Wiam Wahhab that a Saudi diplomat has asked (Lebanon’s) Internal Security forces to head to Jahliyeh (last Saturday),” the embassy said on Twitter.

“The cheap ends of this claim are open to all,” added the tweet, affirming “the kingdom’s keenness on Lebanon’s unity and stability.”

On Saturday, the Internal Security Forces raided Jahliyeh, the hometown of ex-minister Wiam Wahhab to arrest him in connection with a libel lawsuit against Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri and his slain father Rafik Hariri.

Wahhad had accused SA of having a role in the raid.
