| [Iran Press TV] Unidentified gunnies have assassinated a senior member of Yemen's Houthi ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... movement in the capital, Sana'a. Security officials confirmed Wednesday that Abdul Karim al-Khiwani was attacked by gunnies on a cycle of violence earlier in the day. Khiwani was a member of the Ansarullah movement's Revolutionary Committee in charge of administering the affairs of the capital, Sana'a. Al-Massira television channel, which is run by the Houthis, confirmed the death of the big shot. Another leading member of the Houthis, Mohammed al-Bekheiti, said the liquidation took place on Sana'a Street, where Khiwani's house is located. Mohammed al-Khiwani, the son of the slain leader, said gunnies left his father in "a pool of blood" in front of his home and escaped. He was transferred to hospital but died of excessive bleeding. Abdul Karim al-Khiwani, also a top journalist and a respected writer, was a representative of Ansarullah movement in the UN-sponsored national talks which concluded January last year. The meetings ended in a peace plan which divided Yemen into six federative regions. Houthis strongly opposed the initiative and continued fighting until they took control of the capital in September. No group has yet grabbed credit for Khiwani's liquidation, although some analysts believe that forces loyal to Yemeni runaway President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi may have been behind the killing. |
