Critics of anti terror coalition slammed

(MENAFN- Arab News) BEIRUT: Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Ali Awad Asiri said he is disheartened to hear criticism from certain quarters about the Islamic anti-terror coalition saying they misunderstand the objectives and are imagining scenarios that are far from the truth.
He said the strong policies of the Kingdom relate to the fact that it is convinced about the strength of the Arab and Muslim nations and believes that no one can undermine the decisions of the coalition. He said those who are gossiping are only working to fragment the coalition and creating Arab and sectarian divisions.
Asiri noted that Lebanon is one of the foremost countries suffering from terrorism and is fighting it using a number of methods including military power.
The ambassador added that the Kingdom respects the sovereignty of Lebanon and its independent decisions. He said however it is strange that there are certain voices who criticize the Kingdom's decisions and that these are the same voices that the Lebanese public accuse of undermining national sovereignty.
