Houthis threaten Saudi Arabia with suicide bombings

Source: Aljazeera

Yemen's Houthi fighters have threatened to undertake suicide bombings in Saudi Arabia if the kingdom continues to launch airstrikes against the group's positions.

Abdel Mon'em Al-Qurashi, a senior member of the Houthis Executive Committee, said on Saturday that the group would destroy the Saudi regime for its "aggressive" policies, Iran's Fars news agency reported.

"If Saudi Arabia continues its aggressions against the oppressed Yemeni people, [Houthi] fighters will pave the way for the Saudi regime's destruction by conducting martyrdom-seeking operations inside Saudi Arabia in the coming hours," Quraishi told Fars.

Saudi-led airstrikes on Saturday hit Sanaa International Airport and the adjoining military airport, causing damage to planes, airport infrastructure and runways.

Can't say I would be sad to see the Saudi dictatorship fall.

I'd love to see that corrupt monarchy fall, but I do not see any likelihood of a good government replacing it.

They're the ones exporting that Wahhabist theology of hate.

And they're scared to death of the Shia majority in their eastern provinces.
