Yemeni Rebels Say Killed Assassin of Chief's Brother
Yemen's Huthi rebels have said they had killed the suspected killer of the brother of their chief Abdelmalek al-Huthi, an "assassination" they blamed on Saudi Arabia.
Sanaa, Sep 12 (AFP) Yemen's Huthi rebels have said they had killed the suspected killer of the brother of their chief Abdelmalek al-Huthi, an "assassination" they blamed on Saudi Arabia.
The insurgents' TV channel Al-Masirah reported last month that the rebel leader's brother Ibrahim Badreddine Amir al-Din al-Huthi had been "assassinated at the hands of traitors" working for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Iran-backed rebels said their intelligence wing had killed Mohammad Ali Qaid Dawi, 54, in "a successful intelligence operation" in the city of Marib, deep inside coalition-held territory.
They said their investigations had proved Dawi had links to "the Saudi enemy".
The Huthis seized Sanaa from Yemen's internationally-recognised government in 2014, prompting a Saudi-led military intervention the following year.
The conflict has since left tens of thousands dead and pushed the country to the brink of famine. (AFP) HMB 09120757 NNNNn Asian and European Tour events.
