[Yemen Post] U.S. Sherlocks have found out that a U.S.-made missile designed for assassinations was used in the attack on the presidential palace earlier this month that injured President-for-Life Saleh ,... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence... Alarabiya website reported on Tuesday.
"The U.S. probe team informed the Yemeni authorities about the finding," it said, a day after a Saudi paper reported that one of the bigwigs who were maimed in the attack had been buried in Soddy Arabia. Several bigwigs were maimed in the attack on the presidential palace in Sana'a that also killed eleven of Saleh's guards. However, if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning... Aloula newspaper quoted a Yemeni official as saying that the missile an advanced Russian rocket. "The guided missile held a Russian name, FOGAZ," the paper said. A team from a U.S. non-government firm is currently investigating the attack without any help from the FBI, it added.
