Saudi Shuts Embassy in Syria, Withdraws Staff
[An Nahar] Soddy Arabia has shut down its embassy in Syria and has withdrawn all its staff, the foreign ministry announced Wednesday in a statement carried by state news agency SPA."Due the developments in Syria, the Kingdom of Soddy Arabia has shut down its embassy in Damascus ...Capital of the last overtly fascist regime in the world... and withdrawn all its diplomats and staff there," said the statement. Soddy Arabia, which has repeatedly pressed for world action against Damascus and called for rebels to be armed, was one of six Gulf monarchies to expel Syria's ambassadors and withdraw their own in February.
