![]() A woman, named as Intissar Al-Sayani, is among the suspects, it said. âThe files of the accused will be sent to court in August, following the judicial holiday,â it added. In May, Yemeni authorities said it arrested 20 members of the cell, which followed Badruddin Al-Houthi, the leader of Zaidi rebels who were involved in two weeks of fighting with government forces in the mountainous northwest in April that left some 280 people dead. This followed another uprising against the government led by Al-Houthiâs son, Hussein, a radical preacher killed by the army last September after leading a nearly three-month revolt in which more than 400 people were killed. An Interior Ministry report said in June that five civilians were killed while 28 others were wounded in several grenade attacks in Sanaa, which targeted Defense Ministry personnel. |
