3 Saudi Soldiers, Emirati Officer Killed on Yemen Border
Here is the note left behind by a Saudi pilot, Muhammad ‘Umar Al-‘Anzi, who committed suicide rather than continue to kill innocent Muslim Yemenis in Saudi Arabia’s crackpot war:“We have forgotten Islam. We have become obligated to spill the blood of Muslims accompanied by Christian and Jewish pilots. Prince Muhammad bin Salmaan has gotten us into a failed war. I don’t understand why we expose our nation’s interests to danger because of orders from America and the Jews. Muhammad bin Salmaan is the one who is in control of the king and (he) is pushing the kingdom into a vast crisis. I don’t see before me a road to salvation other than death. If I were to remain alive they would force me to participate anew in killing people.” RIP.
