Riyadh (AFP) - Mortar shells and Katyusha rockets fired by Iran-backed rebels in Yemen struck the Saudi border town of Najran on Tuesday, Saudi state television and a Saudi-led military coalition said.

The Al-Ekhbariya network showed images of buildings and cars damaged in the attack, which was confirmed by the coalition that has been carrying out air strikes against the Huthi Shiite rebels in Yemen since late March.

1. Good. The Saudi's have one of the largest militaries in the world.

It's time they use it instead of continuing to use us for their purposes in the region.

2. You want more killing, so long as the Saudis do it?

WTF?

3. Don't you know

we are all neocons now. Saudi bombing and oppressing a Middle east country is just a continuation of what we have been doing in the middle east. I am afraid these people don't hate the policy, they just hate paying for it.

Bomb away, head chopping, women hating Saudis. The Yemenis probably did something to the Saudis to deserve those cluster bombs

4. You are assuming there would be less killing if the Saudi's didn't do it.

[Beauregard]

5. No such assumption.

6. Yes. The death toll has skyrocketed since the Saudis horned in.

9. Oh hell yes

Wahabbism = House of Saud = terrorism

11. The Saudis have killed 646 Yemeni civilians with their air terror campaign.

According to the UN.

8. Not quite

They have roughly the same number as Ukraine does, they have the 4th largest defense spending which is used to purchase from US defense contractors. Saudi Arabia provides their imported labor & staging -- it is mutual relationship that they both profit from.

The US gives them money which they use to purchase from contractors. It is a very corrupt system of simply looting from taxpayers.

10. there goes the 'time out' for aid. Saudis have said, they "took care of the source of the attack"

"We will not let this action pass without reaction. The air force and other components of the coalition are taking care of the source of the attack,"
