Hariri Denies Taking Interest Free-Loan from Saudi King

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri denied on Monday that he took an interest free-loan worth SR 7 billion from Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz.

A statement issued by Hariri’s press office stressed that the report published in al-Akhbar newspaper included a series of “lies and fabrications against Hariri, the Saudi kingdom and its leadership.”

Al-Akhbar said that the Saudi King allegedly gave orders to provide Hariri with an “interest free-loan worth SR 7 billion (over $2 billion) for his Saudi Oger company.”

The former PM slammed the newspaper, which is loyal to Hizbullah, noting that “Hizbullah fell in a media and political confusion after its secretary-general (Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah) admitted of receiving funding from Iran since the early 1980s.”

“However, this confusion shouldn’t have been obscured by the spread of lies and fabrications that the Lebanese and Arabs got tired of,” the statement added.

Sources told the daily that Hariri’s “bankruptcy reports are real,” as many bankers in the Gulf state refused to give him any new loans.

It wasn't a loan, it was a gift! Get it right next time! And al-Akhbar loyal to Hizbullah? LOL

Anyone who supports Aoun and Hizballah are fools.

I am stunned that Al-Akhbar didn't have an accompanying Photoshopped picture capturing the transaction in progress and the traditional newly minted fake bank documents, more news from the fertile mind of the very creative Ibraheem Al Amin.

Saudi Arabia may have given Hariri a free monetary loan with perhaps no conditions attached,But it is well documented that Iran not only supplies Hizballah And Hamas with plenty of cash but weapons that Hizballah turned on their own people.Shame on the Criminals and their bankers.

I need a loan. Why would he go to back to Lebanon with 2 billion dollars? Just go enjoy it, before you get blown up too. Life is short.

Wow, Here in the States we call that having a "Sugar Daddy". I guess Harriri has found the Honey Pot. Wow, I would sell out Lebanon as well to the Americanos and I Isarelianos. Hmmmmmm so if Hizboah works for Iran, does Hariri work for Saudia Arabia? So who may I ask is working for Lebanon. Or are we Lebanese going to remain dogs following their masters till our resources are stolen, our children and families killed and our people remain living in diaspora. God help all if us

Harriri family is a blessed family and has enough money to support itself and its needs in Lebanon. The family of Harriri uses its own funds to further lebanon and its people while others take the money to destroy Lebanon. If Harriri has hypothetically taken any money from the King of SA, I would be more than happy for that because I know full well that this family will use it for the glory of Lebanon. I am more than sure about that. I also see Harriri soon the PM of Lebanon after the Syrian opposition topples the regime in Syria. The Sunni in Lebanon will build Lebanon on a much different basis and they with their Christian counterparts will make Lebanon great.

God bless Saad Harriri and keep him safe and sound to help Lebanon and us get out of the terrible situation in Lebanon.

Flamethrower: No I would not leave Chiaa out of the equation because they are a great side in the Lebanese family. The Chiaa are the spirit of Lebanon and will always be. But, because the Chiaa voice had been temporarily highjacked (not the Chiaa people) they are unable to help make Lebanon glorious. One day they might; and when this day comes, I would be the first one to follow them. At the moment, Iran is leading them and this in my opinion, without having to demean Iran, is not good for lebanon unfortunately. We are Arabs fortunately and will remain arabs no matter what. Anyone wanting to extricate us from the Arab culture will fail.

I wonder how many times he has to bend over for the king to pay all that money back?.

I agree that it is not interest free because with the money he also got the long, thick and thorny stick pushed up his wide wazoo.

the filthy zionist media war terrorists hallucinate something that loan is a gift, and also, they hallucinate something about our glorious resistance and aoun.
