\n24 May 2012 – By Andrew Roscoe – MEED<\/p>\n

King Abdullah sent letter to Lebanon\u2019s president highlighting concerns over increasing sectarian violence in Lebanon<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia\u2019s King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud has said he is \u201cdeeply concerned\u201d about the increasing sectarian violence in Lebanon and has warned of the potential threat of civil war in the Levant country.<\/p>\n

Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the Saudi state news agency, reported that King Abdullah had said in a letter to Lebanon\u2019s President Michel Sulaiman that \u201cSaudi Arabia is deeply concerned and is following up on the recent developments of Tripoli events, especially the targeting of a main sect in the country\u2019s social fabric.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter was referring to the murder of a Lebanese Sunni cleric who opposed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on 20 May in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to the gravity of the crisis and the possibility of it causing sectarian strife in Lebanon and putting it back in the shadow of the civil war, we are looking at your \u2026 attempts to \u2026 end the crisis \u2026 and keeping Lebanon away from foreign struggles especially with the Syrian crisis nearby,\u201d the letter from King Abdullah to Lebanon\u2019s president reportedly said.<\/p>\n
