Saddam Hussein's daughter comments on Houthi's targeting of Saudi Arabia and recalls her previous warnings

(CNN) - Raghad, the daughter of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, commented on the Iranian-backed Houthi militia in Yemen targeting two airports in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, recalling the warnings she had previously made regarding these dangers.

This came in a post by Raghad on her page on the X platform (formerly Twitter), in which she said: “We strongly condemn the attacks that targeted Abha and King Khalid airports in Saudi Arabia, and we reject the practices of Iranian militias and their role in fueling conflicts and destabilizing... Arab efforts must be united to confront this growing threat, which we have always warned of its repercussions on the security of the region and the sovereignty of its countries.”

At least 12 people were killed and hundreds wounded on Saturday when Houthi militants in Yemen targeted an airport in the Saudi capital, while the Iran-backed group escalated its campaign against the kingdom.

This was the third attack on this international airport during the week, and the deadliest against a key US ally in more than a decade.

The Kingdom's Civil Aviation Authority announced, on Sunday, that the attack on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh resulted in the killing of 4 Saudi citizens, two residents from Bangladesh, and one resident from each of the United States, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Palestine and Sudan, adding that 309 people were injured.
