CNN: Saudi Arabia intercepts ballistic missile over capital
(CNN)Yemeni rebels on Saturday targeted an airport in Saudi Arabia's capital with a ballistic missile, according to Yemen's Houthi-controlled Defense Ministry.
But the missile was intercepted over northeast Riyadh, the Saudi Ministry of Defense said in a statement carried on government-backed Al-Arabiya television.
Yemen's Defense Ministry said the missile attack "shook the Saudi capital" and the operation was successful. The attack was conducted using a Yemeni-made, long-range missile called the Burqan 2H, it said.
The Riyadh airport tweeted that it hadn't been affected.

A long range missile....."Yemeni made", what a joke!
This is what i wanted to read on this post "It was intercepted by the Patriot missile defense system, leading to shrapnel falling over an uninhabited area east of the airport, the statement said" this systems tested on real life scenario and successfully working, im sure alot of people are paying attention now.
Heating up quickly. Looks like coup and counter-coup. Bunch of salafist princes have been arrested on 'corruption' charges, including Al-Waleed Bin Talaal (owns major chunks of stock in FNC and twitter, among other media companies). And Bin Laden's older brother was likewise arrested. Then a ballistic missile was launched at Riyadh from Yemen. And now reported that a helicopter full of senior officials has 'crashed'.
