| Yemeni Ministry of Defense rifles used to attack US consulate in Jeddah |
| 2005-12-01 |
| Indeed as the Saudi daily Al-Sharq Al Awsat recently reported citing Yemeni sources along with Western intelligence services, two AK 47 were used during the Al Qaeda’s attack on the US Consulate in Jeddah last December. The Kalashnikov’s serial numbers proved that these weapons belong to the Yemeni Defense Ministry. According to the same sources, US authorities have complained to the Yemeni government about this and asked for further explanation. |

| #1 Jeddah Consulate again? I often passed the Consulate compound back in 1991-1992 during may stay in Jeddah and noticed how sloppy the Soddy guards were. They walked around with FALs slung over their shoulders, barrel and bayonet facing downward. These Saudi "National Guardsman" had an expression on their faces that could only convey one message: "Man I'm bored as shit." |
