| [Yemen Post] Just as news have come through that 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" ... NDC representative Ahmad Sharafeddin was bumped off by armed hard boyz while driving to the NDC (National Dialogue Conference) on Tuesday, media have confirmed that Amer Abdul-Wahab al-Ansi, son of Abdul-Wahab al-Ansi, al-Islah Secretary General has been critically maimed in a kaboom. According to preliminary reports, Amer Abdul-Wahab al-Ansi was driving his father's car when an bomb placed under the car went kaboom!, gravely injuring him. It is not yet clear, who hard boyz ultimately aimed to assassinate, father or son. Amer was immediately transported to hospital, where he is now undergoing emergency treatment. The almost simultaneous attack of two key politicians is said to have deeply unnerved officials in the capital as it would establish that dissident elements are intent on derailing reconciliation efforts by the most violent means. While political liquidations have plague Yemen for any months, the frequency of such attacks has reached new height, a dangerous trend which could very well lay waste reconciliations efforts, just as the impoverished nation thought to have turned the corner. Security sources in Sana'a have said under cover of anonymity that an investigation has been launched into today's twin attacks. While Sherlocks will treat the matter separately, the idea that one party ordered both hits as part of a broad destabilization campaign remains an avenue officials want to explore. It is important to note that both attacks took place on the very day President Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi presided the last plenary NDC session. |
