| Very odd that Iraqi Shiite irregulars would care about unrelated Shiite fighters in faraway Yemen, even if they are both essentially on the Iran government payroll. |
In a statement by the PMF’s media, deputy chief Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes mourned the death of Saleh al-Sammad, chairman of the Supreme Political Council, a body governing Houthi-held areas of 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...that also comprises members from the General People’s Congress, the formerly ruling party.
Sammad was killed along with six other companions in Hudaida province in an air raid by the Saudi-led Arab alliance fighting Houthis last Thursday. His death was officially declared on Monday.
In the statement, Mohandes counted Sammad’s death as a loss " for the whole nation in the face of the arrogance and plots by Saudis and their allies and in face of Wahhabism and terrorism," a reference to the mainstream Islamic discipline in Sunni-ruled 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...
Mohandes said Sammad’s liquidation "will not weaken the will of the Yemeni people" in face of what he labelled as "the Saudi aggression".
