MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA: "Saudis and Yemenis versus jihadists: A bloody border; Trouble on the frontier between Saudi Arabia and Yemen is getting out of hand," The Economist, 7 November 2009.
Saudi Arabia's AQ branch announced earlier this year that it was moving across the border into Yemen to take advantage of the growing instability there, thus birthing the new Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
So the House of Saud faces the usual problem: spray in one apartment and find they move over nearby into the dirtiest one.
Per capita income in Yemen is one-tenth that of Saudi Arabia.
