| [ALMASDARNEWS] Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates... is the latest Gulf country to mobilize their forces to help the Saudi-led Coalition after four of their own soldiers were killed yesterday in Yemen. According to a report released by al-Jazeera News today, approximately 1,000 Qatari soldiers, 200 armored vehicles, and 30 Apache helicopters were deployed to 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... to participate in the Saudi-led aggression. "The troops are now reportedly heading to Yemen's Maareb province, to join the Saudi-led coalition already fighting in the area," al-Jazeera added. More Qatari servicemen will be deployed to Yemen in the near future, the report concluded. The reason for the influx of Qatari soldiers is still unknown; however, it is likely to do with yesterday's situation that involved several Qatari military personnel. |

| #2 30 Apache helicopters were deployed to Yemen That seems excessive, esp for 1000 soldiers. According to wikipedia, 24 Apaches are on order. Other sources say that 24 were ordered in March 2014. So few, if any, are likely to have arrived in Qatar. Muffy, I'm beginning to have doubts on he veracity of Shia news sources. |
