Saudi policeman killed in exchange of fire with a gunman - The Siasat Daily

The Saudi Interior Ministry says a policeman has been killed and two others wounded when a terrorist attacked a security site in the Abqaiq region in the country’s Eastern province.

Interior Ministry spokesman Mansour al-Turki said the attacker tried to enter the site early yesterday morning and was killed in an exchange of fire with the guards.

The two injured policemen were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Al-Turki said a machinegun and live munition were found with the attacker, identified as Nawaf Menahi Shibib al-Utaibi.

He did not say whether al-Utaibi was wanted by the police or if he was believed to belong to the Islamic State group or other Islamic militant faction.

Toll from Yemen rebel attack rises, 10 Saudi troops killed
CAIRO — A Saudi Arabian military spokesman says 10 Saudi troops were killed in a rebel missile strike a day earlier in Yemen's Marib province, which also killed 45 allied troops from the United Arab Emirates.

The Saturday statement by Brig. Gen. Ahmed Asiri to broadcaster Al Hadath was the first public acknowledgement by the Saudis that they have ground troops in Yemen. They are leading an air campaign against the rebels in the impoverished Arabian Peninsula country, training Yemeni troops, supplying weapons and providing military advice.

The rebels, known as Houthis, and army units loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh are fighting forces loyal to President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, who is in self-imposed exile in Saudi Arabia, as well as southern separatists and local militias.

The death toll is rising.

Now it stands at 60 confirmed kills:

45 Emirati soldiers
5 Bahraini soldiers
10 Saudi soldiers

Ten Saudi soldiers killed near Yemeni border

United Arab Emirates says 45 of its troops killed in Yemen

Pro-government Yemeni security officials said the missile strike took place in the province of Marib, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) east of the capital Sanaa. Officials from the media office of the Shiite rebel movement known as the Houthis confirmed they fired a Soviet-era Tochka missile in the area. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the press.

The UAE's news agency, WAM, initially said 22 members of the military were killed Friday but later reported that 23 more had died of their wounds. It gave no details on their role in the conflict.

Bahrain's state news agency also reported Friday that five of its soldiers were killed while "defending the southern border of Saudi Arabia." It didn't give specifics. Yemen is the only country on Saudi Arabia's southern border where there is fighting, and Houthis have frequently shelled across the frontier.

Okay, so?

Like a bully who doesn't expect to get pushed back, UAE has called the attack "cowardly". What?? Attacking 5 months from the air wasn't cowardly?

Anyway, like the same bully, they are now throwing a temper tantrum and have been randomly bombing the heck out of Sana'a and Maarib since dawn.

I was wondering if you were extremely young with your childish views on war and death (as if you life is Call of Duty), but noticed you joined in 2007, so that's back. Meaning if you were even 12 when you started, you should be 20 by now, which means you should be old enough to act more mature.

Those soldiers who lost there life were belong to poor arabic speaking countries. They are not from Gulf, except few officers. So, nothing special.

Where did you get that from?
You are wrong. Almost all the killed were from the Gulf, which till now, amounts to 60 (45 UAE, 10 Saudi, 5 Bahrain). There are also reports that 4 Yemeni soldiers allied to Hadi are killed in the explosion.

Read somewhere they are some Sudanis, Algerian etc..

Then why ship them back to UAE.

That's not right. I mean it's already confimed by UAE, Bahrain and KSA. If they were Sudanese, we would know it by now.

They were hit from where they never imagined. Their hysterical bombing of Sana'a last night shows that they are pissed off and desperate and also, surprised. They should understand it's not like they can come to a country, kill its people with fancy American weapons and get out safely, this is not Call of Duty. More is awaiting them.
