Saudi Arabia ‘center for exporting terrorism’

Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said there was no doubt that Saudi Arabia was exporting terrorism to the world.

Larijani, who was speaking on Tuesday, referred to that development and said the opening of the center in the Saudi capital was “the right thing to do, because that very place (Riyadh) is the source of exporting terrorism.”

Addressing an open session of the Parliament, he said there was no doubt that Saudi Arabia was exporting terrorism to the world.

“It is an evident historical point that Saudi Arabia, since its inception, has been engaged in war and terrorism,” Larijani said.

The Iranian Parliament speaker further said the Saudi regime has for the past almost 60 years been spreading Wahhabism in the name of preaching Islam and through the building of mosques and training centers for the youth.

“If America had stopped the flow from Saudi Arabia of funds, weapons, and gunmen to other places, there would neither have been explosions on twin towers in New York nor would thousands of innocent people been killed in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon,” Larijani said.

Terrorist attacks on the then-twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City in September 11, 2001 killed some 3,000 people. Of the 19 people involved in carrying out the attacks on that day, including the hijacking of commercial planes, 15 were Saudi nationals. The terrorist group that carried out the attack on the Iranian border guards last month is known to receive Saudi support.
