A. kindly translated this piece from the website of the news station of King Fahd's brother-in-law. He noted that the original article in Arabic referred at one point to a citizen and two women, thereby implying that women are not citizens. "A responsible source in the Saudi Ministry
of Interior has declared that “At nine o’clock yesterday evening, a group of
turbulence inspirers, imposters, and rioters
in the village of ‘awwamiyah in the county of Qatif have gathered near the Reef
Roundabout in ‘awwamiyah, and some of them used motorcycles while carrying
Molotov bombs, by which they prompted their direct violation of security and at
the behest of a foreign state that strives to hinder the security of the country
and its stability what is considered a clear intervention in the
state sovereignty”.
And
he continued, “They were followed by the weak souls with the expectation that
their actions will pass without a decisive stance towards who submits his will
to the instructions and the commands of the foreign sources that strives to
extend its control outside its narrow circle, and those must determine clearly
whether their loyalty is for Allah then to their country, or to that state and
its clergy”.
The
spokes also explained that the rented-imposters were dealt with by the security
forces at site, and after having separated them, gunfire irrupted using
machine-guns at the direction of the security men from one of the neighbourhoods
near the site, what resulted in 11 injuries amongst the security forces, 9 of
which were due to gun-shots and two were due to Molotov bomb, and one citizen
injury and two women injuries due to gun-shots in the nearby buildings,
eventually admitting everyone to the hospital.
Iran and Hezbullah flags
Jasir
Al-Jasir, a political writer to Alarabiya, said: “What happened in Al’awwamiyah
yesterday was not a riot or a protest or a gathering, in fact it was a
voulantary imposter action signed by the weapons and the raised flags of Iran
and Hezbullah in addition to pictures of Iranian clerics”.
He
added: “Surely it is a pure Iranian attempt to create chaos and incite the
citizens after the setbacks that Iran received in its expansionist plans whether
in Bahrain or what happens in Syria now”.
He
concluded saying: “The statement has put a segregating line demanding the
participants in these actions to determine their loyalty, either to the country
or to Iran, so they would be dealt with according to this view”.
Clear Iranian Intervention
Furthermore, Dr Ali Alkhushayban, the writer in the Saudi alriyadh
newspaper, said to “alarabiya.net”: “What
happened in al’awwamiyah is considered a clear intervention by Iran in the Saudi
interior affairs, and it always strives to inspire turbulence with its policies,
and it appears that the Iranian promises of pacification with the Gulf are false
promises, and it always insist on antagonizing the peaceful gulf states which
never resulted at any day in any internal problem in Iran, but Tehran was always
the provoker of turbulence at the aim of shaking the stability of the
region”.
He
added: “Hezbullah and the other arms of the Iranian Intelligence are working to
achieve their wishes to defeat Saudi Arabia, and their detestation has increased
after the failure of every attempt to incite the Saudi people”.
He
confirmed that “What a minor fraction did does not represent the Shia sector in
Saudi Arabia, in fact it represents specific persons who have sold their minds
and their consciousness to the greedy neighbour, and the statement of the
[Ministry of] Interior has given them the option between loyalty to the country
or the loyalty to who claims falsely and deceitfully that he protects the Shia
sector”.
He
concluded by saying: “Those must know that the kingdom has never attacked anyone
in any day and has never confiscated the opinion and has never practiced the
oppression that Iran and the totalitarian states have been famous for. They must
commit to citizenship and not raise flags and slogans that do not represent them
and are not satisfactory to the Saudi people”.
Imposter Actions
As
been told to “alarabiya.net” by Dr Ahmad
Alfraj, the academic and writer in aljazeera Saudi newspaper: “These actions
that were conducted by some radicals, who move according to orders from Iranian
clerics desire evil to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, are not new, and everyone
remembers the imposter actions that the Pilgrimage witenessed in more than one
instance with the aim of inspiring disquiet. And everyone knows the Iranian
support to terrorist organizations and the conductance of elements of
intelligence in terrorist actions on Saudi grounds. What happened in
Al’awwamiyah was a continuation to the aggressive behavior and an uncovering of
the truth of the state of revolution in Tehran”.
He
added: “What worries Iran the most is the stability of the kingdom and the love
of the population to its leadership, as it tries to invest in any internal case
to elicit the emotions and promote turbulence, and playing the sectarian string,
but Saudis are more aware than proposals of discovered sources and
aims”.
Alfraj confirmed that the state never dealt with insolence or cruelty
with any person and that the statement clarifies that those [imposters] tried to
instigate the security forces and attack them to get the response of the
security forces defending themselves and using this in the new media to show
that they are discriminated. But this trick will not work as the Saudi security
device is strong is able to protect the lives and properties and will not be
dragged to what the imposters want, and as the Saudi population will face any
aggressor on the national unity with great decisiveness."
