AlQa'dah 16, 1432, Oct 14, 2011, SPA -- The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) strongly denounced the plot by official parties in Iran to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington Ambassador Adel A. Al-Jubeir. The plot was uncovered by US official authorities. In a communiqué released today, ISESCO stated that this heinous criminal act runs counter to the Islamic teachings and values. It also stressed that this constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and diplomatic norms, and has to be firmly condemned and its masterminds brought to account before justice in order to preserve security and peace around the world. In the same vein, ISESCO expressed its surprise that such hideous scheme should be orchestrated by a Member State of ISESCO against another Member State that has a lead role in promoting Islamic joint action and supporting its various organizations and bodies; chief among these is the Organization of Islamic Cooperation under the aegis of which ISESCO is operating as one of its major specialized organizations. ISESCO further stressed the necessity to respect brotherly bonds among Member States and prevent all that could undermine them, the ultimate goal being to foster Islamic solidarity and preserve the unity and supreme interests of the Muslim Ummah.
