Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah accuses Saudi Arabia of ‘terrorism’
Al JazeeraBeirut, Lebanon – Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah has accused Saudi Arabia of exporting ISIL ideology and transporting cars rigged with explosives for suicide attacks to Iraq. Nasrallah’s comments came in response to political opponents and critics in Lebanon who criticised the Iran-backed party for damaging ties between the cash-strapped country and Saudi Arabia. “For God’s sake, have mercy on Lebanon and the Lebanese, and stop the hateful political and sectarian charge.” Strained ties Lebanon is struggling to resolve a diplomatic dispute with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, which have been critical of Hezbollah for their role in Yemen and other regional conflicts. Saudi Arabia’s King Salman in a speech last week called on Lebanon to stop “the hegemony of terrorist Hezbollah over the Lebanese state”.
