Hezbollah blames Saudi for embassy attack

Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah has accused Saudi Arabia of being behind the two suicide bombings that targeted the Iranian Embassy in Beirut last month.

Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah’s comments on Tuesday mark the first time Hezbollah has openly accused the kingdom, and marks a sharp escalation in the Shia Muslim group’s rhetoric.

An al-Qaeda linked group has claimed responsibility for the November 19 attack that killed 23 people.

Nasrallah said the claim was credible but also accused Saudi intelligence of providing backing and support. He also said Saudi intelligence was behind daily attacks in Iraq.

Nasrallah spoke in an interview Tuesday with Lebanon’s private OTV network.
