| Saudi says Iranians 'fabricated reports' about its ambassador |
| 2007-09-07 |
| The Saudi Embassy in Beirut on Thursday accused the Iranian News Agency Mehr of distributing forged information alleging that Ambassador Abdul Aziz Khoja had participated in a plan to assassinate Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. The embassy statement termed the report "mere fabrications aimed at misguidance." It said Khoja contacted Nasrallah's political assistant Hussein Khalil and the party's ex-MP Mohammed Berjawi to "enquire about the reason for such fabricated reports and accusations and they stressed that Sayed Hassan Nasrallah has no information about what has been said." The embassy, according to the statement, was informed that Hezbollah "appreciates the ambassador's stands and his role, respects his openness and is keen on him as well as on the continuity of his role." Khoja left Lebanon amidst threats The Saudi Arabian ambassador to Lebanon, whose government is leading supporter of Lebanon's parliament-backed government, has left Beirut on August 17 in the face of attack warnings, a senior Lebanese official said on August 25. According to the reports, Ambassador Khoja left Beirut after the Saudi Embassy had formally notified the Lebanese Foreign Ministry of a “threat of attack against the ambassador’s residence, his person, the embassy or other Saudi interests in Lebanon.” |
