? Nasty headline of the day, courtesy The Australian:
Israel to Cut 100km off ‘apartheid wall’
? We found the ‘T-word’ in The Independent’s coverage of the security fence – Saudi Arabia’s security fence, that is:
The project, involving fencing and electronic detection equipment, has been in the planning stages for several years. It may cost up to $8.57bn (£4.58bn). Behind the plan is a deep-seated lack of trust in the Yemeni authorities’ ability to arrest infiltrators before they make it into Saudi territory….
The perpetrators of earlier terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia, spanning at least a decade, also used explosives from Yemen, state-controlled Saudi media has reported.
The report then elaborates in detail the Yemeni connection to Islamic terror in the Saudi Kingdom. It’s worth noting that the Saudi casualties to Yemin-based terror and the quantities of weapons seized are a drop in the bucket compared to the number of Israeli terror victims and the illegal weapons awash in the Palestinian areas.
