Iranian cleric says Saudi Arabia is 'center of sedition'

An Iranian cleric accused Saudi Arabia on Friday of giving refuge to terrorists and committing crimes in Arab states including Bahrain and Syria, the Iranian Students' News Agency ISNA reported.

"The Saudi government has become the center of sedition in the region and a safe haven for terrorists such as (Tunisia's former president Zine al-Abidine) Ben Ali and (Iraq's fugitive Vice President) Tareq al-Hashemi," hardline cleric Ahmad Khatami said during a sermon at Friday prayers. (Reuters)
