| [ALMANAR.LB] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... announced on Tuesday that two of its soldiers fighting with the Arab coalition in 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... have been taken hostages by the Ansarullah resistance movement. "Two Saudi soldiers fighting with the Arab coalition in Yemen have been detained by 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... rebels. They are detainees and not hostages," coalition front man Ahmed Assiri said, adding "They lost their way inside Yemeni territory." Three other Saudi soldiers are missing, Assiri said. The front man did not say when or where inside Yemen the incident took place. The Saudi acknowledgment came after military media in Yemen broadcast a video footage of one of the Saudi soldiers who were locked away Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! by the Yemeni army and people's committees during the confrontations on the border front with Saudi Arabia. The prisoner, named Ibrahim Arraj Mohammed Hakami of the Fourth Battalion, First Brigade, based in Jizan, called upon the Saudi army and the Defense Ministry to stop the war "which is of no benefit but the destruction and killing of our brothers in Yemen." Later on, the Yemeni state-run TV channel Al-Masira broadcast an exclusive footage showing the Yemeni army and the Popular Committees forces storming the Saudi military posts of Al-Raboueiya in Assir region. The video scenes document detaining more Saudi hostages, as one of them appears maimed and receiving treatment by the Yemeni troops. |
