In a statement to Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the GCC Secretary General stressed that this brutal assault is a provocation to the feelings of Muslims and a disrespect to the Islamic holy sites and their sanctity. He added that the attack is a clear evidence of the Houthi refusal to abide the efforts by the international community to enforce the truce in Yemen and it is a denunciation of the political solution to the crisis. --SPA 14:44 LOCAL TIME 11:44 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
