"Dubai police has foiled a major attempt to smuggle arms from Turkey to Yemen," said Khalfan, adding that "the shipment consititutes 16,000 guns" and "six Arabs residing in the United Arab Emirates have been arrested".
"The shipment was heading to Saada, we can't say to which side, but definitely not to the government," Khalfan told reporters.
