| [AAWSAT] Yemen’s National Army forces announced seizing a large and wide-ranging collection of sophisticated mines and weapons ready for use, as well as all Iranian-made wireless communication devices on the country’s western coastline. Artillery was seized on a number of key fronts abandoned by 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... Lions of Islam who were planning to use the weapons against the Yemeni people, the statement said. Army intelligence operations also uncovered cash hideouts that murderous Moslems used to conceal cash in the Sa'ada governorate. Military experts say that locating high-level Houthi hideouts serves a blow to Houthi militias, especially at a time they are experiencing decline on all fronts and a lack of military supplies. The national army was able to seize Iranian-made weapons on various fronts, especially in west coast pockets, Yemeni Army Spokesman Brigadier Abdo Abdullah Majali told Asharq al-Awsat in a phone conversation. Majali said that banknotes found in Saada are related to looting carried out by Houthi militias that robbed Yemen’s Central Bank and other banking institutions. He added that Lions of Islam moved towards hiding the cash away from Sana'a so that it is easier to control the acquired funds. Majali also revealed that army forces mapped mines and uncovered attack blueprints targeting areas liberated by anti-coup forces. "The army benefited greatly from maps in finding mines," he added. Majali explained that blueprints found aided in the rapid combing of different directorates. National Army units gaining access to important military information has helped in recent days to progress quickly and at a large scale. Finding the wireless device also aided the National Army in decoding, intercepting and wiretapping many calls exchanged between Houthi militia leaders. On the battlefield, the army front man confirmed that there has been significant progress in the governorate of Saada. |

| #1 Wait! I just saw a documentary yesterday where Lady Di and her grown son, Harry, were saying that land mines had been made illegal. |
