The General Secretariat of the Muslim World League (MWL) described the assault incident on a French family in Saudi Arabia yesterday as a heinous crime. MWL Secretary General Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulmohsen Al-Turki said in a statement that the cruelty of the perpetrators of this incident was apparent in that they did not take into account the sanctity of Muslim blood. He added that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a place of security and safety, commending the efforts made by security authorities in the Kingdom to maintain security and protect people from aggression. "The security authorities have proven high efficiency in tracing criminals, protecting people and maintaining security", he added. He also urged citizens and residents in the Kingdom to cooperate with the security authorities to eradicate all kinds of crime.
