JAZAN — Large crowds of mourners, including Saudis and expatriates, attended the funeral procession and prayer of Captain Zafir Mansour Ahmed Al-Turki, from the Yemeni popular resistance, who died on Friday while fighting for the liberation of the town of Meedi in Yemen.
Hamoud Mansour Al-Turki, the martyr's brother, said he was looking forward toward fighting the Houthi mercenaries and the forces of the ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The brother quoted the martyr as saying that he was intent on driving the Houthis and Saleh's forces out of the country because they were behind its destruction and annihilation.
He said his brother vowed never to come back but a martyr and recommended that he be buried in Saudi Arabia, the country that is always supporting the weak and the oppressed.
