Saudi Arabia never expected such a heavy defeat in Syria, and the ouster of its notorious Intelligence Chief Bandar Bin Sultan was just one of the many outcomes of this defeat and Saudi King Abdullah should wait for many more boomerang effects, a senior Syrian lawmaker said.

“The Saudi intelligence apparatus never expected the recent incidents in Syria, specially the victories of the Syrian army in various parts of the country,” Syrian MP Ahmad Haj Ali told FNA.

He reiterated that the recent developments in Syria have already left its negative effects in Saudi Arabia, including ouster of Prince Bandar and appointment of a deputy for the crown prince.

Haj Ali noted that the recent developments in Saudi Arabia all indicate that the Al Saud regime has been weakened.
