Teacher shoots dead 6 colleagues in Saudi Arabia

At a gathering of more than two dozen defense ministers at North Atlantic Treaty Organisation headquarters, Saudi Arabia, which has quietly resumed its participation in air strikes in the past few weeks, also renewed the possibility of sending forces into Syria.

According to a report via the guardian, mass shootings are rare in Saudi Arabia, nevertheless the shooting comes at a time where the authoritative state has faced a series of recent attacks at the hands of Islamic State militants.

Bashar al-Assad will not be ruling Syria in the future and Russia’s military interventions will not help him stay in power, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told a German newspaper in an interview published on Saturday.

“The kingdom is ready to participate in any ground operations that the coalition (against ISIS) may agree to carry out in Syria”, said Saudi Brig.

The United Nations flatly rejected the request and reminded Saudi Arabia of its obligations to allow humanitarian access in Yemen, where coalition warplanes have been pounding Shiite Huthi rebels for almost a year.

Diplomatic delegations from Iran, Saudi Arabia, Britain, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Iraq, Italy, Jordan, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Russia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the U.S. as well as the Arab League, the European Union and the United Nations attended the Munich talks.

With the US, Britain, and other coalition members seemingly egging them on, Saudi Arabia has reiterated its plans to send ground troops to Syria to “fight ISIS”.

With the teacher since arrested, the state run Saudi Press Agency had declined to initially report the shooting which took place on school grounds.

He further said that “There is no win loss game in our world today” adding “we need to redefine the problems in the Middle East”. On Wednesday, France delivered a rebuke to President Barack Obama, demanding that Washington show a clearer commitment to resolving the crisis in Syria, where Russian Federation is tipping the military balance in favor of Assad. “There is no foreign side now fighting the Daesh on the ground”.

“If Saudi Arabia does intervene in this part of Syria it will become yet one more combatant in the most complex and risky battlefield in the world”, he concluded.
