UK Sends Typhoon Jets To Support Saudis Amid Houthi Attacks
The United Kingdom has on Tuesday announced yet more creeping escalation in the Yemen war. It is offering Saudi Arabia 'defensive' assistance by deploying its Typhoon fighter jets.
The British Ministry of Defence claimed the warplanes and British pilots would operate only in a "defensive role" - though its yet to be seen what exactly this will mean.
"The UK will fly defensive counter air missions to support the protection of Saudi cities and critical national infrastructure against aerial attack, using RAF Typhoon fighter jets," the statement added.
via UK Royal Air ForceIn this current situation the line between what gets deemed defensive vs. offensive is going to be thin, at a moment Saudi territory has been coming under almost daily attack from Houthi ballistic missiles and drones. Will UK warplanes move to take out launch systems if their locations are identified in Yemen?
The kingdom's major airports have b...

Saudi Arabia Executes Two Foreigners Over 'Indecent Acts' Inside Mecca Mosque
Via Middle East Eye
Bangladesh is seeking answers on why Saudi Arabia executed two Bangladeshi nationals in the city of Mecca - which is considered holy in Islam - without telling Dhaka.
Last week, Saudi Arabia executed a male and a female Bangladeshi national after they were convicted of committing "indecent acts" inside a mosque (in Mecca).

Reacting to the incident, Bangladesh's minister for foreign affairs, Humaiun Kobir, told reporters that he was "very disappointed" by the lack of communication and that Dhaka was seeking an explanation on why they were executed and not informed beforehand about the execution.
"We have sought an explanation from our friendly bilatera...

'Once He Leaves, The Case Is Over': Judge Jails OpenAI Bugging Suspect After Saudi Consulate Offers 'Blank-Check' Bail
When a foreign government volunteers to bankroll your release from federal custody, it may be time to reconsider the "no ties to a foreign state" defense.
On Monday, a San Francisco federal magistrate ordered Abdulrahman Alfozan, the 35-year-old Saudi national accused of bugging an executive conference room at OpenAI's headquarters, detained without bail pending trial, saying there is a "significant" risk he would flee. The ruling came after Judge Alex Tse grilled the defense over an offer by the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles to pay Alfozan's full bail, which CNBC reports that the judge called "problematic".
In other words, the Kingdom offered to post bail for the man accused of bugging the room where OpenAI meets government officials, and the judge decided that was not, in fact, reassuring.
