According to Arab media, a TV network called al-Mostaqella quoted reliable sources in the Saudi king office that Mohammed Omar al-Anzi, a fighter plane pilot, committed suicide after seeing the photos of the children who were massacred in a brutal way during air attacks he was involved in.
Before committing suicide, he sent a letter to a number of his friends in which he said that war in Yemen was a big crime against defenseless people.
He said in his letter that, "We have forgotten Islam, we were forced to shed the blood of Muslims... Muhammad Bin Salman [the defense minister of Saudi Arabia] has pushed us into a war which is already doomed to failure."
He wondered in his letter, "I don’t know why we should endanger the interests of our own country because of what America or Jews say. Muhammad Bin Salman has grabbed the power and is pushing the country towards an engulfing crisis."
He went on to stress that, "I see no way to save myself but death. If live, they will force me to take part in the massacre of defenseless Yemeni people again."
At least 279 Yemeni children have been killed and 402 others injured in the last 10 weeks due to the brutal Saudi aggression against Yemen, according to the UN Children’s Fund [UNICEF] in a statement recently last week on Tuesday.
UN estimates also say that over 2,600, mostly civilians, have been killed and another 9,755 wounded as a result of the ongoing attacks on Yemen.
