Time to get in the wayback machine. Remember way back in 1979 when the Grand Mosque was taken over by "extremist insurgents" ?
The Saudi's sent in the French GIGN, (who had to convert to Islam prior to entering the mosque), yet the French say while the Saudi's took France's tactical advice, say it was ultimately Pakistani commandos that did the fighting.
What a cluster hump.
For reference.
On a side note, "rumors" that Americans had bombed the moque led to an attack on the US Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan. It was burned to the ground, two American service members were killed.
Saudi Arabia Military Amasses Near Yemen Border: U.S. Officials

March 24 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia is moving heavy military equipment including artillery to areas near its border with Yemen, U.S. officials said on Tuesday, raising the risk that the Middle East’s top oil power will be drawn into the worsening Yemeni conflict.
The buildup follows a southward advance by Iranian-backed Houthi Shi’ite militants who took control of the capital Sanaa in September and seized the central city of Taiz at the weekend as they move closer to the new southern base of U.S.-supported President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
