Pakistan PM calls Houthi Mecca attacks 'red line' at UN

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said at the UN Friday that further attacks on the Islamic holy city of Mecca would be a "red line" for Islamabad. Pakistan maintains ties with Iran which backs the Houthi fighters responsible for firing missiles at Saudi Arabia where Mecca is situated. But Islamabad is strategically close to Saudi, and entered into a defense agreement with the kingdom, and Turkey, last month.
