Jeddah bombing cast doubt on US, Saudi policy: Commentator

Press TV: Give us your assessment on the attack near the consulate in Jeddah?

Moussawi: Well a lot of skepticism could be cast about this kind of attack. I mean if they are going to attack the consulate, we had a lot of news coming from there, one said that the consulate has been moved long time ago and that the one who has perpetrated this attack, this aggression, did not know about the location very well. This is one thing.

The other thing is that it is okay, we are always happy to see that no people were killed, let’s say no casualties ... but at the same time we know very well that now there is a lot of talk about the accomplice of Saudi Arabia with Daesh and with the Takfiri groups. When such attack happens in such a situation, questions should be really raised about how serious this has taken place because we know they are carrying attacks that would amount to flagrant aggressions that would claim several lives.

Here you are talking about skepticism. Again I should like to say that we are very happy that no one has been killed and not many has been injured, only two people, this is very good, but at the same time the whole incident is not something that could really be understood clearly.

Now we know very well that there is this interlinkage between Daesh and between Saudi Arabia, the continuous support of certain [Persian] Gulf states, namely Saudi Arabia, namely Qatar and other countries. When it comes to such attack you believe that it was kind of like throwing the dust in the eyes, so the automatic linkage could be broken.

Press TV: Well a guest who we spoke to earlier here on Press TV said that in such incidents it is the United States that needs to do some soul-searching to see why such attacks take place. Do you see it in that light as well?

Moussawi: Yes absolutely. More or less you are talking about the same axis, you are talking about the same front. We know that Saudi Arabia, the United States of America, most of the countries in the West, they are under the banner of helping the Takfiris one way or another. Who has opened the doors way and very open for them in order to come? We know very well that they came from different Western counties and they have been helped in order to reach certain places, we know how Turkey has helped in this venue as well, so if they are really serious about it they could do a lot in clamping down the funnel of support for them.

We can also talk about the thing that happened the other day in Turkey. We know very well that the one who has launched the attack he has been going and coming in different Western countries so freely, so openly and even with the help of the authorities. So again when you talk about Saudi Arabia, when you talk about the United States, we have a lot to say about it.

The other day we all knew that there had been a whole huge convoy of the Daesh forces going from one place to another and the coalition forces refused to hit it or to target it under different alibis and pretexts that can convince no one, so the Iraqi forces had to engage with them and had to start an attack against them. This casts a lot of skepticism, as I said doubts about the seriousness, about the reality and about bottom line of the American policy, the Saudi policy towards the Takfiris, namely Daesh.
