21/11/2013 10:02:00 Six mortar shells landed near a remote Saudi border post close to neighboring fellow oil producers Iraq and Kuwait on Wednesday, but caused no damage, the kingdom's border guard agency said on Thursday. "Six mortar shells fell in an uninhabited area near the new al-Auja border guard centre of Hafr al-Batin in the Eastern Province. Thank God no damage resulted from it," said General Mohammed al-Ghamdi, the border guard media spokesman, in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency. The area is on the far northwestern fringes of the kingdom's oil producing region and several hundred km (miles) from its largest oilfields. Ghamdi said he had been in contact with border guards of "neighboring countries" to take necessary measures to determine the source of mortar fire and prevent it recurring. Sunni Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter and a close ally of Kuwait, has an uneasy relationship with the Shi'ite Muslim-led Iraqi government, which it regards as a pawn of its main regional rival Iran. It has not had an ambassador in Baghdad since before the 1990-91 Gulf War. Sectarian fighting in Iraq over the past decade has involved Sunni militant groups close to al Qaeda and Shi'ite militias which regard Saudi Arabia unfavourably. The kingdom has constructed a barricade of fences and earthen dykes along its Iraqi border to prevent infiltration of militants from the country. Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province shares around 60 km (38 miles) of border with Iraq near the town of Hafr al-Batin. The border area is deep in the desert, with no towns or villages nearby. The province also borders Kuwait. Saudi Arabia has significant oil facilities in the Neutral Zone it shares with Kuwait, more than 100 km (62 miles) from Hafr al-Batin, but its main oil and gas fields are located much further to the southeast, hundreds of km (miles) away.

Lol Alan what do the Saudis have to do with Mecca? Alan read their history, it was them that invaded became with British help. They destroyed holy sites: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_early_Islamic_heritage_sites_in_Saudi_Arabia In 1801 and 1802, the Saudi Wahhabis under Abdul Aziz ibn Muhammad ibn Saud attacked and captured the holy Shia cities of Karbala and Najaf in Iraq, massacred parts of the Muslim population and destroyed the tombs of Husayn ibn Ali who is the grandson of Muhammad, and son of Ali (Ali bin Abu Talib), the son-in-law of Muhammad. (see: Saudi sponsorship mentioned previously) In 1803 and 1804 the Saudis captured Mecca and Medina and destroyed historical monuments and various holy Muslim sites and shrines, such as the shrine built over the tomb of Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, and even intended to destroy the grave of Muhammad himself as idolatrous, causing resentment throughout the Muslim World.[13][14][15] In Mecca, the tombs of direct relations of Muhammad including his first wife Khadijah bint Khuwaylid were demolished at Al-Ma’ala Cemetery.[16] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jMSoVzWsuQ Edited by jjmuneer, Nov 27 13, 1:29.

Trust me Alan they wouldn't attack Mecca, that would be suicide, even their own shias would turn against them. Alan I don't think you realise Mecca is the holiest site to all muslims. But obviously I don't support Hizbollah, why would i care, they aren't related to Kurds and don't concern us. What concerns us is Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Isis and Assad.

the gulf countries in the middle east don't got the balls/brains to do anything. they import litteraly everything and the only thing they export is I-rackis, oil, and sand lol mostly oil. when sadam invaded Kuwait and saudia in 90s, their other gulf allies were silent and Saudi couldn't defeat irackk so the US had to help them lol. if the US didn't help, all of Saudi would of been invaded within months. but I got more respect for the arab nations closer to the medeterianian, theyre country isn't all desert, they make mostly everything themselves, no oil, and the people know how to fight. but gulf states pay other nations to do theyre work for them ex: gulf aiding al qeada to defeat assad
