A senior Russian official warns that Saudi Arabia will be the next target of the ISIL terror group if Syria falls.
“I believe that countries of this region – Saudi Arabia, ِArab Gulf states and maybe others should pray for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. This is the last frontier of their security,”Tass news agency quoted Russian Deputy Security Council chief YevgenyLukyanov as saying on Wednesday.
He added that if the Syrian government falls, then the ISIL’s next target will be Saudi Arabia and the Arab Gulf states.
Some 5,000 Saudi nationals have joined the ranks of the ISIL, Lukyanov said, waning, “When the active phase of confrontation ends there, where will they go? They will come back [home]. What can they do? They can only kill people.”
He further said that no country in the world can be immune to acts of terrorism.
Back in May, ISIL claimed responsibility for deadly bombing attacks targeting two mosques in Saudi Arabia at Eastern Province.
The terrorist outfit, which is widely believed to be receiving support from certain regional countries,including Saudi Arabia itself, has called for more attacks against Saudis through one of its groups inside the Saudi kingdom.
ISIL Takfirism is largely influenced by Wahhabism, the radical ideology dominating Saudi Arabia and freely preached by Saudi scholars.
Riyadh has supported terrorist organizations such as the ISIL in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere .
