    The Saudis don't want any territory in Yemen. They moved Saudis villages back from the Yemen border 20 kilometers in 2000-2002.

    Al Qaeda has bases in Southeast Yemen for years, ... funny how with all the ordinance dropped by Saudi Arabia on Yemen, none of it is dropped on Al Qaeda. Coincidence?

    The al Houthis are the de facto ruling faction in Yemen’s central government and are now widely perceived as having substantial Iranian backing. The group’s political party, Ansar Allah, was established in the post–Arab Spring environment.

    As a Saudi Spokesperson, I don't expect you to admit the Kingdom is infested with the Ultraconservative Wahhabis.

    My God, Jimmy.. The Saudis have been fighting to keep the jihadis and bombers from Yemen out of KSA for over 20 years now.
