Lebanon PM chats to King Salman
LEBANON’S runaway PM Saad Hariri met Saudi King Salman in Riyadh yesterday — as his former intelligence service denied his claim of an assassination plot.
Mr Hariri announced his resignation on television from Saudi capital Riyadh on Saturday, accusing Iran of meddling in Arab affairs — and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah of holding the country hostage.
Lebanese General Directorate of State Security denied any knowledge of a plot, telling Al Masdar News yesterday: “The source of this news is unknown.”
