"An official British investigation in 1971 observed that the British Army had engaged in the torture of detainees, using methods including 'wall-standing, hooding, noise, bread and water diet and deprivation of sleep'.
These techniques, the investigation found: have found an important part in counter-insurgency operations in Palestine, Malaya, Kenya and Cyprus and more recently in British Cameroons (1960-61), Brunei (1963), British Guiana (1964), Aden (1964-67), Borneo/ Malaysia (1965-66), the Persian Gulf (1970-71) and in Northern Ireland (1971).
Another official investigation concluded that pierced eardrums had been observed on detainees coming from an interrogation centre in Aden. The Red Cross and Amnesty International were refused permission to interview detainees in one notorious prison.
Britain also pursued a covert war in North Yemen in the 1960s in which 200, 000 people were killed. Colluding with Israel's Mossad and the Saudi regime [under King Faisal, the De Facto Unofficial Ruler at the time], British Labour and Conservative governments secretly supplied arms and funding to royalist rebels fighting pro-Egyptian republican forces that had overthrown the pro-British Imam in 1962."

I would like readers to see that although Saudi Arabia officially did not recognise Israel as a State in the 1960s, it still accepted the Jewish nation as a military ally against a fellow Muslim country, Egypt, alongside another Non Muslim country, UK, to demolish a third Muslim nation, Yemen, so as to put a British stooge, back in office.
King Faisal had fought a war against Yemeni peasants and others who wanted change from an oppressive monarchy and had risen against the Yemen government because it did not represent to Yemeni majority and was little more than an autocratic British puppet.
