| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] 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... militias failed to successfully launch a ballistic missile into the Yemeni city of Aden from Damt, sources confirmed to Al Arabiya from Dhale Governorate. Eye witnesses said they saw the failed ballistic missile fall near Naqeel al-Shim area east of Qatabah city where it went kaboom!without causing any causalities. The incident is being considered a first for Houthi militias and forces loyal to former ousted 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... in attempting to fire a missile into Aden. Separately, Yemeni army and Popular Resistance Forces repelled an attack by Houthi militias in the directorate of Nahm, Sanaa governorate. A front man of the resistance in Sanaa Abdullah al-Shandaqi said that the army and the Popular Resistance were able to stop the attack and conduct a counterattack, supported by the coalition air force. The battle resulted in the death of 18 and scores of maimed on the militias side and the death of four on the popular resistance’s side. |
