Riyadh: Saudi Arabia on Thursday condemned a Sam Bacile’s film, Innocence of Muslims, considered blasphemous to Islam and denounced the violent anti-American protests in some Middle East countries.
Protestors attacked the US embassies in Libya, Yemen, Egypt, Tunisia and other Muslim countries. Attack on US consulate in Libya resulted in the deaths of four embassy officials including the US ambassador to Libya.
According to Saudi state news agency (SPA), a senior Saudi official said “Saudi Arabia has expressed… its condolences to the United States of America for the victims of violent actions in Libya that targeted the American consulate in Benghazi.”
The kingdom also denounced what it called an “irresponsible” group which produced the film deemed insulting to the Prophet Mohammed and condemned “the violent reactions that occurred in a number of countries against American interests.”
