| [AnNahar] Yemen's Shiite Houthis have killed the capital's governor in festivities that erupted during an attempt to detain him, his relatives said Friday. Sanaa governor Abdulghani Jamil and his nephew Nasr Jamil died of wounds suffered in festivities late Thursday between his aides and the Iran-backed militiamen, they said. Jamil was appointed by exiled President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi, who fled to Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... after the rebels seized power in Sanaa and later advanced on his last refuge in the south, the port city of Aden. The Huthis "demanded Jamil hand himself in" but he refused, resulting in a firefight, relatives said. The Huthis, allied with renegade troops loyal to former president President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... , have been in control of Sanaa since September, despite more than two months of Saudi-led coalition air strikes against their positions across the country. Coalition warplanes on Friday hit rebel positions in the eastern oil-rich Marib province, killing three local Huthi leaders, an official in the region said. |
