Iraq’s Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, told Lebanon’s Al Mayadeen television channel that the nationals of his country have good reason to believe that Saudi Arabia is a state sponsor of terror, Press TV reported.
The Iraqi Minister stated that many Saudi nationals have carried out terrorist operations in Iraq, and every Iraqi citizen has a right to believe that Saudi Arabia is a supporter of terrorism.
On March 8, Fox News cited a senior Iraqi counterterrorism intelligence officer as saying that around 30 % of the Daesh terrorists in Iraq had been Saudi nationals, who had entered the country over the previous three years via Turkey or through the Syrian border town of Abu Kamal.
