...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 legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates.

The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...

The channel later broadcast a speech by rebel chief Abdelmalik al-Huthi, who said all the group's military operations were "a legitimate response to Saudi aggression".

Al-Huthi added that the Saturday's attack was also "a warning to the United Arab Emirates", the other main pillar in the Saudi-led coalition.
