Yemen protests to Saudi Arabia

SANAA, Yemen, Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Yemeni officials have reportedly filed an official protest with Saudi Arabia for hosting Yemeni people suspected of supporting rebellion.

September 26, a daily newspaper with close ties to the Yemeni presidency, quoted an unidentified official as saying his country presented an official protest to Saudi Arabia against "some practices of Yemeni political activists residing in Saudi as refugees or nationals against Yemen."

The source's statement, in which he warned "this could harm relations between the two countries," came as a Saudi official delegation arrived in Sana'a to finalize a $150-million joint project for a cement plant in the country.
