ISIS Claims to Have Assassinated Retired Saudi General

Brig Gen Ahmed al-Asiri, Saudi Armed Forces, retired

ISIS outlets have claimed that one of the terrorist organization's operatives assassinated retired Saudi general Ahmed al-Asiri at his home in Jizan, near the Yemen border. Al-Asiri had served as the spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition conducting operations against Iranian-sponsored Yemeni rebels in Yemen's civil war. Saudi sources have yet to confirm the death of the general was an assassination, but social media traffic seem to grant the notion a high degree of validity. If it proves to be true, this would represent a significant security threat to the kingdom, highlighting its inability to protect even its most elite from attacks by the ISIS terrorist organization and its affiliates.
