Beirut, (IINA) - Lebanese Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk said that Lebanon may take measures against two Hezbollah officials labelled as terrorists by Saudi Arabia and the U.S. government for allegedly spreading “chaos” in the region, The Lebanese Daily Star reported.
“The Lebanese government will ask Saudi authorities to provide it with the files of the two Hezbollah officials, Khalil Harb and Muhammad Qabalan in order to take the local necessary measures,” Machnouk told Saudi daily Al-Watan in remarks published on Thursday.
He said there was “full cooperation” between Lebanese and Saudi security agencies.
Saudi Arabia announced on Wednesday that it had listed Harb and Qabalan as terrorists over their involvement in spreading “chaos and instability.”
For its part, the United States welcomed the Saudi sanctions, saying Washington had also designated the two men in 2013 for overseeing “violent operations” in the Middle East.
