Saudi FM: It was Hizballah which fired missile at Riyadh airport

Adel Al Jubeir, Saudi Foreign Minister, accused Hizballah of firing the Iran-made ballistic missile from Yemen, which was intercepted before it hit Riyadh’s airport Saturday. In an interview to US media Monday, Jubeir disclosed that the 1,000km Iranian missile was delivered to the Houthi rebels in disassembled pieces and assembled by Iranian and Hizballah engineers. The launching against Saudi Arabia was entrusted to Hizballah, he said. The Saudi minister called this attack an “act of war” by Iran and asserted the kingdom’s right to defend itself.
