Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia may be about getting the attention of the White House. 

Their attacks on Riyadh International Airport have injured 13 people. 

Former CIA Officer, Glenn Carle says that despite US support, Saudi Arabia has been unable to stop attacks from the Iran-backed rebels.

He says fresh claims from Donald Trump he will wipe out the country are baseless. 

"It's an inconceivable thing to do, it's essentially impossible from a whole range of angles. So he's just really talking typical bombast there."
