RT: ‘It’s like a war here’: Saudi police raid defiant eastern province amid wider conflict with Shias
One Saudi policeman was killed and four injured during raids on a Shia-dominated oil-rich eastern province, as the Saudi-led coalition bombardment of rebels in neighboring Yemen prompted fears of the fighting spilling over the border.
It is thought the security raid in the eastern town of Amawiyah was aimed at subduing Shiite discontent with the Saudi Sunni majority. The gulf kingdom fears further escalation amid the latest regional developments and wider allegations of discrimination.

So it has begun.
If the Saudis invade Yemen, and it becomes a disaster, then I expect this to escalate in the eastern provinces.
If the Saudis invade Yemen, it is yet more proof of Obama's success in Yemen.
Just ask Carney or Earnest. they will lie to you with a straight face and be well paid for it.
