Human rights organisation director escapes assassination attempt in New York
2022-11-08
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] The regional director of the European Organization for Human Rights Mohammed Al Zubaidi has survived an liquidation attempt in New York while returning to his home.

A lawyer for the activist al-Zubaidi, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that al-Zubaidi suffered light burns as a result of an unknown person spraying hydrogen oxide on his face and fleeing from the place, stressing the attack caused minor burns to al-Zubaidi’s face, swelling in the eyes and hard breathing.

The lawyer accused the Saudi lobby in the United States of being behind the person who carried out the attacked, weeks after al-Zubaidi initiated a call for the free 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...
bloc to convene abroad with activists from the Saudi opposition to condemn Saudi crimes against innocents.

Al-Zubaidi’s lawyer expressed his surprise at this attack, as he was riding in his car and did not expect the Saudi lobby to dare to commit the crime.

As a result, there is a large movement by Yemeni activists at the level of the US Congress to condemn Saudi terrorism against civilians in Yemen and violations of human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
. As a result of that call, the Saudi lobby made an unsuccessful attempt to attack al-Zubaidi.

#6  The common form of hydrogen oxide is better known as water.
There ae some people who rarely contact the stuff, but it is rarely fatal except in very large quantities.

#5  Do they call it attempted assassination when islamists do their acid attacks on non-muslims? This seems like a retardo jiahidi wanna-be who pulled a disinfectant instead of an acid for his attack.

Anyways.TIL:

An oxide is any chemical compound that contains one or more oxygen atoms.

A peroxide is any compound that is composed of an oxygen-oxygen single bond.

#4  "How do you know it was an assassination attempt?"

"Well, our local crime celebrities kill people."

#3  Probably beauty parlor hydrogen peroxide, which is much stronger than the drug-store stuff.

An alternative explanation is holy water which is known to burn demons. Given that the vic is part of an organization with 'human rights' in the name, I prefer this explanation.

At least Smollett was smart enough to use bleach.
