Al-Zou’bi: Saudi Decision to hold accountable one who is engaged in Fighting outside the Kingdom does not mean it Stopped Supporting Terrorist Groups in Syria

DAMASCUS,(ST)_ Information Minister Omran Al-Zou’bi said the : ” Saudi decision on holding accountable every one engaged in a fight outside the Kingdom does not mean it stopped funding and arming terrorist groups in Syria, describing this decision as unrealistic and not feasible because terrorists coming from Saudi Arabia, infiltrate into Syria through Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey and do not cross via official borders,” wondering how the Saudi authorities will realize that they have returned from Syria . “

Al-Zou’bi added in response to media questions about the Saudi decision to try a Saudi youth who fights outside the kingdom : ” There are terrorists from more than 83 countries , who are armed and funded by Saudi Arabia”, noting that the Saudi decision does not refer to halt funding , arming and training support , whether for the Saudis or other nationalities,” adding that this decision does not hold accountable for media incitement , rehabilitation and psychological preparation for terrorists carried out inside Saudi Arabia by TV and radio stations and web sites broadcast from inside the kingdom .

“There are other Gulf states that behave the same Saudi way, with TV stations inciting religious and sectarian fabrications which receive support and regular funding and there is evidence that their donations have come from individuals or associations presumed to be dedicated to do good not to spill the blood of the Syrians ,” the information minister said .

Al-Zou’bi added that if the Saudi decision was only very informational and a try to beautify the image of the Kingdom ,then, it is futile, and does not express any international obligation to fight terrorism.
