AsiaNews: Riyadh (AsiaNews/Agencies) – Saudi Arabia’s Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah al-Sheikh said that suicide bombers are “criminals” who will go to “hell”.
“Suicide bombings are great crimes” and bombers are “criminals who rush themselves to hell by their actions,” Sheikh said during a lecture in Riyadh a few days ago.
Sheikh described suicide bombers as “robbed of their minds… who have been used (as tools) to destroy themselves and societies.”
In recent months, Saudi authorities have cracked down on al-Qaeda terrorists in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which was formed from a merger of the jihadist network’s Saudi and Yemeni operations. More here.
