| [AnNahar] Shelling from across the border 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... killed three people in 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... Friday and maimed 28, the civil defense agency said. The agency described the dear departed as residents of the Saudi border district of Jazan, while Saudi news channel al-Ekhbaria said they were foreigners. The civil defense added that four Saudis were among the maimed, without giving the nationalities of the others. Al-Ekhbaria showed pictures of blast-damaged cars and shrapnel-punctured walls. The attack brings to at least 64 the number of people killed in Saudi Arabia from border shelling and skirmishes since a Saudi-led coalition began a campaign against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen six months ago. Most of the border casualties have been soldiers. The latest shelling came as local anti-rebel fighters backed by Gulf Arab ground troops from the coalition pressed their offensive in Yemen. The want to push the rebels out of Marib province and eventually move on the capital, which the rebels seized last year. |
