CAIRO, May 21 (Xinhua) -- The Arab League (AL) Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit condemned on Tuesday the Houthis bids for attacking Islam's holiest city Mecca with two ballistic missiles, the AL said in statement.
"Such terrorists actions constitute dangerous threat not only for the security and stability of the kingdom, but also for the regional security in general," Aboul Gheit said.
He pointed out those attacks are violation for the sacredness of the holy places in the holy month of Ramadan.
The AL expressed its solidarity with Saudi in combating any threats against its security and stability, and stressed its rejection for expanding the circle of militant conflict that caused sufferings for the Yemeni people in the past few years.
Saudi-owned media accused Yemeni rebels on Monday of targeting Mecca with two ballistic missiles, report that has been denied by the Iran-allied Houthi rebels.
The Saudi-led coalition has been intervening in the civil war in Yemen since 2015 to fight the Houthi rebels who seized Yemen's northern provinces, including the capital Sanaa.
Houthis have been targeting Saudi border cities since the beginning of the war in Yemen.
