Conflicting Reports On The Death Of Saudi Arabia`s Top Air Force Commander

WNU Editor: Saudi Arabia is saying that he died of a heart attack .... Saudi Air Force commander dies of heart attack (The Nation) .... while on a business trip abroad .... Royal tribute to air force chief (Arab News). The Saudi Air Force has been bombing Yemen daily since the start of the war .... the Saudi story line that he was on a "business trip" when he died does not sound "kosher" to me. Israeli sources are painting a different story .... that he was targeted by Iranian intelligence and that a Yemen rebel Houthi Scud attack killed the General at the big King Khalid Air Base at Khamis Mushayt .... Saudi air chief killed in Yemeni rebel Scud attack on Khamis Mushayt air base (Debka File).

Must be a real lucky hot. The scud robots are not exactly a precision weapon

You are correct Anon .... they are not accurate. But apparently this airbase was targeted with 15 missiles .... 2 or 3 were shot down .... 10 hit. These missiles can create enormous damage when they hit a target .... and then again .... all you need is one lucky hit. Then again ... he may have died from a heart attack on a "business trip". We can never be sure.
