The Saudi extraterritorial force named ‘Muhammad Army’ is being established and its forces have undergone specialized trainings and it is fully equipped, Al-Rai Al-A’am news website reported.
Prince Bandar and his brother and Saudi Deputy Defense Minister Salman Bin Sultan are supervising establishment of the ‘Muhammad Army’. The Saudi government has earmarked several billions of dollars for the establishment of Muhammad Army, training of the army’s forces in Jordan.
It is said that the Muhammad Army will be Saudi Arabia’s strike force in Syria and it might also be deployed for war against Yemen’s Al-Houthi movement which is now in combat against the Salafi groups in Damaj region in Northern Yemen, particularly given the fact that the Al Saud is a staunch supporter of Yemen’s Salafi groups.
Military sources in London said that Muhammad Army comprises 50,000 men and it might expand to a 250,000-strong force, adding that the Muhammad Army’s headquarters will be in Jorda
