WikiLeaks: Saudi operation against the rebels was a "bad planning and implementation"
American said in a note published by the site Wikileaks on Tuesday that
the Saudi army last year resorted to "excessive force" against the
Yemeni rebels during the campaign was "confusing" to the Kingdom because
of the "long-running".
She said the document sent by the U.S. embassy in Riyadh said the
"aerial bombardment of day and night and firing artillery shells were
the main weapons for what he considered the Saudi military campaign
confusing because of the long-running against the Houthis."
The document indicated that the operation, which lasted three months
against the lightly armed rebels in the border areas with Yemen was "bad
planning and implementation" and led to "the fall of the
larger-than-expected number of Saudi victims."
In August 2009. Yemen launched an offensive against the rebels.
An earlier memorandum published six days ago reported that this war,
"formed the most important clashes fought by the army since the battles
that Saudi King Abdul Aziz led to the establishment of the Kingdom" in
1932.
The hair of Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz angry because "the
expulsion" Huthi need to all this time, due to Saudi Arabia and losses
"as well as the army not to demonstrate an improved ability despite the
billions paid to modernization in recent decades."
The Telegraph said that due to the December 30 / December 2009 that
Riyadh then turned to Washington for ammunition, pictures and
information.
He added that "the U.S. military responded as much as possible with the
first sending demand for light weapons, munitions and artillery through
the air."
But said that the number of applications rejected and the Saudis
complained that the United States failed to "support Saudi Arabia when
they need it."
