Thursday 10 March 2016: closing ceremony of military exercise “Ra’ad Al-Shamal” (North Thunder) in Hafr Al-Baten, northern Saudi Arabia.
The 12-day “North Thunder” manoeuvres, in the northeast of the Saudi peninsula, included 20 nations from the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
The exercises took place near Hafr al- Batin city, close to the Kuwaiti and Iraq borders.
Saudi Arabia’s chief of staff, General Abdulrahman al-Bunyan, commanded the exercise.
The “North Thunder” exercise is considered the biggest Arab and Islamic military maneuvers that have been seen in the region.
Participants in this exercise included joint military forces from 20 Arab and Islamic states in response to the invitation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
WAR CRIME ALERT:
Very suspicious is the John Kerry’s visit to Saudi Arabia, in the same time and area where there were military exercises mentioned above. It is very likely that Kerry failed to appear for alone, but with U.S. military advisers.
Why? To you the very obvious answer.
