DAMASCUS,(ST)_ An official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates on Sunday denied news quoted by certain media , claiming that Syria recruited ” a person” in order to bombard holy sites during the last al-Haj Season, for the assassination religious and political figures in Saudi Arabia and to carry out bombing operations in fuel stations in Jeddah.
“As denying this news categorically, the Syrian Arab Republic confirms simultaneously its commitment to the safety and security of Saudi Arabia and its holy sites. The person who disclosed these false news, claiming that was asked to carry out a bombardment in Mecca when pilgrims stand on Arafa mount as part of Al-Haj rituals , had never worked as a Syrian diplomat as he alleged, but a former local employee at the Syrian Consulate in Jeddah , and that he and those behind him fabricated these statements in an attempt to undermine the steadfastness of Syria in the face of the conspiracy against her and to offend the solid fraternal relations between the Syrian and Saudi people.” The Statement read.
