Saudi Arabia Places 12 Hizbullah Leaders on Terror List for 'their Operations in Mideast'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Saudi Arabia placed on Thursday a number of Hizbullah leaders and investment companies on its terrorism list due to their involvement in “operations throughout the Middle East.”
The Saudi Interior Ministry announced in a statement that 12 Hizbullah leaders and officials have been placed on the list.
“The kingdom will continue on combating Hizbullah's terrorist activity through all possible means,” it stressed.
“It will continue with this mission with its partners throughout the world to emphasize that no country should remain silent over Hizbullah's militias and its extremist practices,” it added.
“Hizbullah has long sought to spread chaos and instability, launch terrorist attacks, and perform criminal acts throughout the world,” said the Interior Ministry.
“The kingdom will continue to designate as terrorist Hizbullah leaders and operatives and it will continue to impose sanctions on them,” it declared.
The Hizbullah members and companies included in the statement are Ali Moussa Daqdouq al-Moussawi, Mohammed Kawtharani, Mohammed Youssef Mansour, Adham Tabaja and his company and tourism establishment and its affiliates, Qassem Hojeij, Hussein Ali Faour and his car maintenance center, Mustafa Badreddine, Ibrahim Aqil, Fouad Shukr, Abdul Nour Shaalan, Mohammed Najib Karim, and Mohammed Salman Fawwaz.
Sanctions will be imposed on them and their assets will be frozen, added the Saudi statement.
In March, Riyadh imposed sanctions on two prominent members of Hizbullah on charges of “carrying out terrorist acts throughout the Middle East.”
It accused them of supporting the regime of embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad and of helping fund various factions in Yemen.
Tensions have been high between Hizbullah and the kingdom over recent developments in the Middle East, most notably Saudi Arabia's airstrike campaign against Iranian-backed Huthi rebels in Yemen.

When wahabis put the Resistance on the terrorist list, then you know Hezbollah are legitimate already.
Saudi Arabia are the father of Terrorism, look at Al Qaeda and ISIS.

was Hitler ( a Catholic Christian ) who melted jews in ovens also encouraged and inspired by Saudi Arabia? You are missing the point completely. This is not about religion but rather politics.

but assad, hezbollah, and iran are in a position to act like they are even entitled to classify who is a terrorist.
I think it is clear enough for you now. You sit here and talk about other's religion and when yours is touched you flip like a crazed man. Shows you've learned nothing.

Assad's horrific crimes against humanity and torture techniques are very well documented and are not less horrific than ISIS or Hezbollah's crimes. Is Assad also inspired by wahabi ideology?

The takfiris horrific crimes against Christians that you do not care about, does indeed confuse me.
How come Geagea never spoke up for the Christians being slaughtered by the "moderates rebels" in Syria.
Because Geagea is a Wahabi, he keeps that stands to ensure his own safety in Lebanon and to prevent east beirut areas to be bombed ofcourse, but that is indeed a show of weakness.

Syria will be Russia's Vietname... just like South Lebanon was Israel's Vietnam.
The people they are fighting are fighting for their right to live freely and thus are motivated to the death. Russians are not. Lets wait and see who will win this.

So are the minorities of Syria fighting for their lives and preventing their women and children from being enslaved by the thousands of foreign takfiris jumping over the 1 meter fences in Turkey to enter Syria.
Takfiris does not fight to live freely, the fight to enslave others. That is their difference, and that was their plan since 2011.

So why is the Druze religion a heretic religion, as you claim, and your religion is not? What makes you the judge of that? Please explain and let's see what you know. I'm ready to debate you on this. Go ahead...

Dear Mazen (Guest)
I am ready to mediate between you guys, but first I need to know what is exactly the druze religion and if there is one to speak of? I went to the Vatican's vast library and could not find a single book. Do you have one? Email it to me:
