Nadia Al-Fawaz Saudi Gazette ABHA — The Asir governorate on Sunday denied it had issued a warning against unidentified criminals said to be running loose in the region to threaten its social security. “There is no truth to this warning which was widely circulated through the social media tools, including Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp and others,” spokesman of the governorate Awad Al-Saeed said. He asserted that the false warnings were a shallow attempt to raise alarm and discredit the efforts of the security forces who are constantly vigilant to ensure safety of the country and its people. “Thanks to Allah, the security in the region is stable under the leadership of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah and Crown Prince Salman,” Al-Saeed said. The spokesman said the Governorate will follow up the source of the report and bring the perpetrator to justice under the law against cyber crimes.
