RNA – Hujjat al-Islam Maqsoud Ali Domaki, the president of Pakistan’s Martyrs’ Foundation and the secretary-general of the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen of Pakistan in Baluchistan province has met with officials of the city of Khairpur in Sindh province where he described the Saudi-led aggression against Yemen as an act of “treachery against the two holy shrines [of Makkah and Madinah].”

His Eminence stated that act of killing Muslims in Yemen is a small example of the cruelty of the House of Saud against other Muslim nations throughout its history and gave two other examples:

The attacks launched against the holy shrines of Karbala and Najaf in 1802, where over 5,000 people were killed and the tombs of Imam Husayn and Imam Ali were plundered and destroyed and more recently, in 1987, where the Saudi regime massacred about 400 Iranian hajj pilgrims in the holy city of Makkah.

“These are but a few of the cases in the black record book in the history of the House of Saud,” he said.

Hujjat al-Islam Domaki continued, stating that by supporting terrorist groups, killing innocent people, the Saudi regime is considered one of the mercenaries of the United States and Israel in the Middle East.

“The aggression of the Saudi regime against the people of Yemen, shows their true face to the world,” he concluded.
