“Today we start the pursuit of terrorism, and we see its defeat in many facets around, the world especially in Muslim countries...

Re: Saudi-led ‘Arab NATO’ declares total war on terrorism, not particular ‘country or sect’
I would guess many Yemeni's see Saudi Arabia as conducting a war of terror against them. Maybe Saudi Arabia is going to go to war with itself. Also, its ostensible support of 'rebels' ( AKA terrorists) in Syria. How are they going to handle that particular contradiction?
This pronouncement is questionable just because of its open ended-nature and how the definition of 'terrorism' can be almost anything a given State wants it to be. War against an 'abstract noun' is highly suspect from the git-go.
