Saudi Embassy Files Complaint over Hizbullah's Halting of One of its Vehicles
The Saudi Embassy in Lebanon objected on Friday to Hizbullah's searching of one of its vehicles in Beirut, reported LBCI television.
It said that it filed the complaint to the Foreign Ministry after members of the party stopped an embassy vehicle in the Gallery Semaan area near Beirut's southern suburbs.
The members recorded the names of the embassy employees riding in the car before allowing them to continue on their way.
Hizbullah had stepped up its security measures in and around its stronghold of Dahieh in the southern suburbs of Beirut in light of a bombing in the area on August 15.
Twenty-seven people were killed and 336 wounded in the bombing in the Ruwais neighborhood in Dahieh.
