Local Editor
Hizbullah Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, held Saudi Arabia responsible for the chaos in the region, in remarks published by Al-Akhbar newspaper on Wednesday.
He said that Saudi Arabia oversees the activities of extremists groups in Yemen although the extremists will pose a threat to Saudi Arabia itself in the future.
Saudi Arabia "is running the "Daesh" group and al-Qaida in Yemen although these terrorists will pose a danger on it later", said Sayyed Nasrallah.
He lashed out at Riyadh, accusing it of serving US interests in the region.
"Since its establishment, the role of Saudi Arabia and "Israel" has been to serve the U interests in the region", he stated.
Saudi Arabia "killed us in the July 2006 war", and "is responsible for all the killings in the region", Sayyed Nasrallah said.
Since March 26, a Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States has been carrying out a military aggression on Yemen by launching airstrikes against the country since. The airstrikes have not been authorized by the United Nations [UN].
