Infringement upon Kingdom's security an infringement upon Muslim world's security: OIC

Saudi Gazette report JEDDAH — The Executive Committee of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned in the strongest terms the targeting of Makkah by Houthi-Saleh militias. In a ministerial level emergency meeting here on Saturday, the OIC said that infringement upon the Kingdom's security is also an infringement upon the security and cohesion of the Muslim world as a whole. It called the targeting of Makkah an aggression on the sanctity of holy sites in the Kingdom and an act of offense to the feelings of Muslims around the world. It said the aggression was an evidence of their refusal to comply with the international community and its resolutions. The meeting also condemned the Houthis and allies of the ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh as well as those who support them and provide them with arms, weapons, rockets, missiles. The meeting affirmed member states' support for the Kingdom in its fight against terrorism and against all those attempting to cause harm to the Kingdom or to target religious holy sites therein.  It also affirmed solidarity with the Kingdom in all its efforts and measures to preserve its security and stability. It called at the same time on all Member States to stand united against this heinous aggression and against those behind it supporting its perpetrators with arms.
