Houthi blames Yemen president for lacking will to fight terrorism
2014-11-05
[Iran Press TV] The leader of Yemenâs Shia Ansarullah movement has accused the Yemeni government of lacking the political will to fight Takfiri terrorists.

Addressing mourners commemorating Ashura, the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (PBUH), the third Shia Imam, on Tuesday, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadiâs government lacks the âpolitical willâ to fight the growing threat of Takfiri terrorism in the country.

His remarks came hours after more than 30 people lost their lives in the latest round of clashes between Ansarullah revolutionary fighters and al-Qaeda-linked militants in the town of Rada' south of the Yemeni capital, Sana'a.

Al-Qaeda militants frequently carry out attacks on Yemenâs security forces and have been locked in deadly battles with Shia Ansarullah fighters.

Meanwhile, al-Qaeda-linked violence against Yemeni security forces has grown since February 2012, when President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi came to power in a one-man election backed by Saudi Arabia and the United States.
