Yemen arrests Zaidis accused of attacks in capital

Yemeni authorities said Thursday they have arrested 11 members of the minority Zaidi community suspected of carrying out attacks in the capital as part of an uprising against the government. The 10 men and one woman "are part of a gang which carried out acts of violence and sabotage, including bomb attacks against cars belonging to officials from the Defense Ministry, and in public places, causing death and injury to citizens," the Defense Ministry's September 26 weekly reported. "Several grenades, weapons and pamphlets bearing fatwas (religious decrees) hostile to the regime and inciting violence were found in the apartment where these people lived."

"Those arrested are followers of Badreddine al-Houthi" of the Faithful Youth movement, it said. Badreddine is considered the spiritual leader of rebels who emerged from the extremist Faithful Youth movement of his son, Hussein Badreddine al-Houthi.
