BIKYA MASR: CAIRO: Foreign and “unnamed hands” are targeting Islam, the Islamic world and Arabs in the recent events in the region, Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah said.
The king, who was giving a televised address Friday night to a conference of prominent Saudis, did not name any country in particular.
But Saudi officials have used similar terms in recent weeks to suggest a connection with Iran, a Shia country at odds with Sunni Saudi Arabia.
“There were hands that are known to you all … behind what has happened in the Arab world, regrettably targeting Islam and the Arabs,” he said. » | Bikya Masr Staff | Saturday, February 25, 2012
