 [ALMASDARNEWS] 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... forces killed a high ranking commander of the al-Qaeda terrorist group this weekend. According to the official media wing of the Houthi forces, their fighters killed the al-Qaeda commander, Ghaleb ’Abdullah al-Zaydi, after the former stormed the terrorist group’s base in the Mareb Governorate. In particular, the Houthi attack took place inside the Rabia Valley of the Sirwah District, which is partially controlled by the al-Qaeda terrorist organization. The Houthi forces have been fighting the Saudi-backed troops and al-Qaeda snuffies inside the Mareb Governorate for over two years now. Despite labeling al-Qaeda a terrorist group, the Saudi Coalition has often avoided the former in order to concentrate their efforts on the Houthi forces. Posted by: Fred 2018-08-19 |
