| [ARABNEWS] Fifteen bully boys, suspected to be Houthis, stormed the Al-Amal Care Home and kidnapped a Saudi woman at gunpoint, according to security officials in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Thursday. The officials said that it is not known where Huda Al-Niran is being held. Al-Niran is the woman who made international headlines last year when she bravely ran away to Yemen with the man she wanted to marry, Arafat Al-Qadi. Kadi, a Yemeni, was cleared by a local court of kidnapping her. However, the hip bone's connected to the leg bone... Al-Niran was placed in a home until her case is resolved. She is applying for refugee status. Fatima Jarallah, the director of the care home, said 15 men stormed the facility. She said the gunnies attacked the guards, took their weapons and broke down doors to kidnap Al-Niran. The Death Eaters had visited the center earlier in the morning and said they were representatives of 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 Americaâ¢, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... committees, said Jarallah. The police in Yemen are currently investigating. Arab News reported last month that Al-Niran had allegedly tried to commit suicide at the home. Her lawyer Abdul Raqib Al-Qadi said at the time that her confinement at the home was against international laws that grant expatriates seeking asylum in a foreign country the right to move freely. |
