RNA – Hezbollah’s Deputy Secretary General Sheikh Naeem Qassem expressed regret over the terrorist attack against Shia mosque in Qatif, Saudi Arabia, calling it a heinous crime by Takfiri.

Sheikh Qassem stressed Saudi atrocities in Yemen similar to those of Al Qaeda and Israel calling them as crimes against humanity.

Referring to different crimes committed by Saudi Arabia Sheikh Qassim quoted by TNA as saying: “What is the difference between attacking a mosque by a suicide bomber and bombing the prayers with warplanes? Or what is the difference between a booby trapped car killing many people in a market and mass killing of the civilians in a market in Yemen?”

In a recent attack against the Friday prayers in Qatif, Eastern Saudi Arabia, more than 20 people were killed and 100 more injured.

While the attack has been criticized by both Shia and Sunni scholars, ISIL terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the incident.
