Islamic organ denounces Houthi missile attack on Saudi Arabia

Xinhua,December 20, 2017 Adjust font size:

RABAT, Dec. 19 (Xinhua) -- The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) on Tuesday strongly denounced the Houthi missile attack against Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh.

ISESCO Director General, Abdulaziz Othman Altwaijri, accused in a statement the Houthi militias' attack as a criminal act that targeted the security and safety of citizens and civil facilities.

This attack requires an international position to deter these terrorist militias and their supporters, the statement said.

ISESCO called on the international community to urgently take the necessary measures to stop these terrorist acts and enable the legitimate government to fulfill its duties and restore peace and security to Yemen. Enditem
