| [Iran Press TV] A Saudi soldier is killed and three others injured in a landmine kaboom near the border with Yemen, Saudi state media say. The four soldiers were on patrol on a designated road in the southwestern Jizan region alongside the Yemeni border when the landmine detonated on Monday morning, the Saudi Press Agency quoted an Interior Ministry front man as saying without providing further details. The incident took place as the warring sides in the Yemeni conflict held their first direct meeting after a week-long break on Monday. The UN special envoy to Yemen, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, said on his Twitter that the face-to-face talks came after a delegation representing the resigned president, Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, accepted to end its one-week boycott of the talks in Kuwait. Hadi's delegation withdrew from negotiations after accusing Yemen’s Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... Ansarullah movement and allies of failing to keep their word. Hadi's representative had urged the Houthis to begin to implement a UN Security Council resolution and withdraw from the capital Sana’a and other places they control and surrender their arms. But the Houthis refused to give in, setting their own preconditions, including a full halt to 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... 's aerial and ground attacks that have left close to 10,000 killed and at least 16,000 others injured in 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... over the past 14 months. |
