20 Saudi Soldiers Found Dead Near Border with Yemen
Saudi Arabian Assistant Defense Minister Prince Khaled bin Sultan told reporters on Saturday that the bodies of 20 out of the 26 soldiers reported missing were found on the Saudi border with Yemen, raising the death toll for Saudi Arabia’s fight with Yemen’s Shiite rebels to 133. Sultan said that the bodies were discovered after “liberating” areas around the Dokhan mountain, a strategic high point in the rugged border region.
