17May2004 Al-Farsy denounces fabricated allegation in London newspaper

Jeddah, 17th May 2004

Commenting on a report by yesterday’s Independent on Sunday, a London newspaper, which alleged that some members of the National Guard had prior knowledge of bombings at a residential housing complex in Riyadh in May and provided insider aid to al-Qaeda, Minister of Culture and Information Dr Fouad bin Abdulsalam Al-Farsy said that this report was falsified and entirely baseless.

The Minister noted that the continuation of intense efforts by the National Guard and all other Saudi security forces to fight the menace of terrorism is the best reply to such malicious allegations.
