Saudi authorities intercept bomb-laden boat from Yemen

RIYADH: Saudi authorities said Wednesday they had intercepted an unmanned boat rigged with explosives that was sent by Yemeni rebels to target an oil plant on the kingdom's southwestern coast.

The boat, sent from a small island off the Yemeni coast, was targeting a petroleum products distribution terminal run by Saudi oil giant Aramco in the southern Jazan region, the interior ministry said in a statement carried by the SPA state news agency. (APP)
