Lebanon condemns terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry condemned on Tuesday the terrorist attacks that targeted the Prophet Mohammad's Mosque in Saudi Arabia.

The ministry said in a statement that "the attacks were aimed at igniting sectarian strife," calling on the regional states to work together to "end this series of bloody and criminal acts of terror."

"The evil powers and those standing behind them will never be able to defeat our nations, who confront this monstrous terror that knows no religion or limits with courage and unity," added the statement.

A suicide bomber killed four security personnel outside one of Islam's holiest sites, the Prophet Mohammad's mosque in Medina on Monday, just as the call to sunset prayers was ending and hours after suicide bombers struck two other Saudi cities Jeddah and Qatif. Endit
