| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Yemenis gathered on Monday in the Houthi-held capital to witness execution of a 22-year-old man named Hussein al-Saket, convicted of raping and killing a four-year-old girl. According to the AFP news agency, quoting Rajeh Ezzedine, a judge who attended the execution, Saket was found guilty of abducting, raping and murdering the girl. Ali Ayedh, the victim's uncle, said Saket "took part in the search for the girl before being unmasked" during the police investigation. It was the second such public execution in weeks. He said his public execution would act as a "deterrent for criminals." Saket was placed face down on Tahrir square in Sanaa, which the 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... militias have controlled since 2014. A policeman shot him dead through the back with five bullets aiming for the heart, before his body was strung up on the end of a crane. On July 31, another man was executed in the same square after being convicted of raping and murdering a three-year-old girl. |

| #3 Four? Even Mo says you're a sick bastard The issue is that he stole someone else's toddler. Had he used his own child it would likely not have been an issue. |
