REPORT: Corruption accusations against Mufti Qabbani were behind Sunday’s events

Grand Mufti Sheikh Mohammad Rashid Qabbani was attacked on Sunday while he was at the Khashoggi Mosque attending the funeral of Lebanese young man Mohammad Chaar who was killed in the Starco explosion. Security forces managed to evacuate him and transport him to Dar al-Fatwa.

In this context, sources said that Sunday’s events resulted from a series of accusations against the Mufti, claiming that he was involved in many corruption cases.
