Saudi Soldier Killed on Yemen Border: Riyadh
 [ALMANAR.LB] A Saudi border guard was rubbed out Thursday when his post came under fire from Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition has been launching a brutal war.The post in the Jazan district "was subject to heavy fire from a mountainous area in Yemen," said a ministry statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency. The guard died before reaching hospital. His comrades and troops returned fire, the Saudi agency added. The guard's death brings to at least 60 the number of Saudi soldiers killed in shelling and skirmishes along the border with Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... since the coalition war began on March 26 against the Arab impoverished country. Posted by: Fred 2015-09-11 |
