| [Iran Press TV] Fighters from the Shia 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 Americaâ¢, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... Ansarullah movement in Yemen have flushed out al-Qaeda-linked bully boyz from a town in the Arab country's strategic western province of al-Hudaydah. On Thursday, the Houthi fighters established control and security over the entire al-Khokha, a strategic town because of its direct access to the Red Sea and proximity to Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, while the Yemeni government troops surrendered some military bases to the Ansarullah forces. The development came a day after Ansarullah fighters swept the town of Adeen, situated about 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of the capital, Sana'a, in their battle against al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists. Ansarullah fighters have already flushed al-Qaeda-linked bully boyz out of Rada' and Sa'ada, two key towns in central and northern Yemen. On October 29, Ansarullah members took control of the strategic town of Radmaa in Yemen's central province of Ibb following festivities with al-Qaeda-linked turbans. The leader of Yemen's Shia Ansarullah movement has recently accused the Yemeni government of failing to meet its responsibilities to provide security as threats from Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... Al-Qaeda bully boyz frequently carry out attacks on Yemen's security forces and have been locked in deadly battles with Shia Ansarullah fighters. |
