The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly denounced here the firing of a ballistic missile by the Houthis that targeted Makkah.

    In a statement, carried by Saudi Press Agency (SPA), Secretary General of the OIC Iyad Ameen Madani said that this heinous aggression is only another chain in a long series of targeting holy places, inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, following the previous bombings in the surroundings of the Prophet Mosque, in Madinah, last June.

    Madani called the firing of the missile by the Houthis and forces loyal to deposed Saleh as big foolishness emanating from a group that doesn't care about Muslims sentiments, let alone their sanctity, and considering it as an aggression against Muslims, entirely, all over the world, taking into account Makkah, as the main holy place, because it is the cradle of the revelation of Islam and the direction of worshipers, in their five compulsory prayers, the other optional and voluntarily observed prayers.

    He said that he is in consultation with other members of the executive committee to hold a meeting to discuss this dangerous act that targeted Makkah by the Houthis and the deposed Saleh.
