Riyadh, 9 August
Reaffirming his country’s determination to combat terrorism, Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah has donated $100 million for supporting the international counter terrorism centre under the UN.
In a joint Id message with Crown Prince
Salman, King Abdullah, who is also the custodian
of the Two Holy Mosques, said: “Terrorism threatens global peace and stability.”
He also called for joint international efforts to fight terrorism without any leniency toward militants and their sponsors.
“We should understand that terrorism will not disappear within a limited period. So we have to be prepared for a long fight with terrorism.
“Whenever we try to tighten the noose it could become increasingly aggressive and violent. But we have strong faith in God that it would be defeated,” the message said.
While the Saudi King along with Prince Salman cautioned the Ummah (nation or community) against the danger posed by the distorted ideologies, King Abdullah stressed
at the importance of activating the international counter terrorism centre, which he proposed
during an anti-terror conference in Riyadh on 5 February, 2005.
Meanwhile, Muslims in Saudi Arabia, including expatriates, celebrated Id marking the end of the fasting month of Ramzan.
The Supreme Court had confirmed the sighting of Shawwal crescent by reliable witnesses on Wednesday evening.
