Coalition forces destroy booby-trapped boat targeting Al Mokha port
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Military sources in the city of Mokha in west 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... said that the Arab coalition forces destroyed at dawn on Saturday, a booby-trapped boat of the Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... militia targeting al-Mokha port. The source said that the failed attack occurred at three in the morning as a boat was directed towards ships anchored in the port. The boat was destroyed before reaching the target. The Houthi militia recently used marine bombs to target ships and harbors. They also planted naval booby-traps in an attempt to stop navigation and target ships on the coasts of the Red Sea.
