BEIRUT: Lebanon’s Interior Minister stressed Thursday that Gulf citizens would continue to receive visas on arrival at the airport, a day after a Saudi suicide bomber killed himself and wounded 12 people to evade arrest during a raid on his room at a Beirut hotel.

He was responding to a report by the local newspaper As-Safir which said that the Cabinet will discuss requesting Gulf visitors to apply for a visa in advance.
