Abu Dhabi: Shaikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, has condemned in the strongest terms the heinous terrorist crime that has targeted the Al Masjid Al Haram in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

He emphasised that the UAE backs and stands in full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under the leadership of King Salman Bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud.

“This heinous crime exposes the extent of terrorism and the savagery of those terrorist groups, and no one in their right mind can justify or explain it,” Shaikh Abdullah stated.

Hailing the efficiency of the Saudi security services that foiled the heinous crime, he said that every Muslim in the world praises what the Kingdom is doing to serve Islam and Muslims and spread love and tolerance among all peoples of the world.

“This heinous crime will make us even more formidable and determined to eliminate terrorism and eradicate its sources along with all those who finance, incite, sympathise with, or justify it in any manner whatsoever,” Shaikh Abdullah further said.
