#3 LH, here's a report on one raid: A force of more than 200 security agents used tear gas and explosives on Friday to blast into a two-story building where the Saudi and Bangladeshi suspects were hiding in Karbos village, near the Yemeni border in Jazan province. The security forces found 93 bazooka rockets, more than 50 hand grenades, a number of machine guns, highly explosive chemicals, detonators and three security uniforms.
