...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. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements.

rebels in the slaying.
Judge Mohammed Homran was killed after the button men on Tuesday kidnapped him from his car near his home in Sanaa, the Houthi-run Interior Ministry said. Ministry front man Brig. Gen Abdel Khaleq al-Ajry said that authorities had arrested the assailants and will prosecute them.
The Houthis have controlled Sanaa and much of northern Yemen since 2014, while the internationally backed government, driven out of the capital, holds much of the south along with its allies. The two sides have been fighting a destructive civil war.
The government's information minister, Muammar al-Eryany, called the killing of the 63-year-old Homran the latest episode in the Houthis' ``systematic'' transgressions against members of the judiciary. He pointed to earlier instances of a judge who faced threats and another who was forcibly disappeared.
In a statement carried on the government-run Saba news agency, al-Eryany called for international pressure on the Houthis to deter them from targeting judges.
A 2020 U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights report recorded several transgressions against judges in both Houthi and government-controlled areas, including liquidation attempts, raids of judicial compounds and other forms of intimidation.
The same report recorded a clear interference in judicial appointments to serve different groups' political interests.
``The liquidation of Judge Homran is an attack on what is left of freedom and human dignity. We demand an international investigation,'' wrote on a judge on the official Facebook page of the Yemeni Judges' Club, which has spearheaded many strikes to protest Houthi assaults.
Yemen's civil war has created one of the world's worst humanitarian crises, with more than 150,000 people have been killed in the war.
Separately, Amnesia Amnesty International on Thursday urged the Houthis to end their male guardianship rules that forbid women from travelling without a male relative or proof of a male relative's consent.
``This restrictive rule constitutes a form of gender-based discrimination and entrenches the discrimination faced by women in Yemen on a daily basis,'' said Diana Semaan, Acting Deputy Director of the Middle East and North Africa. ``Yemeni women urgently need to be able to move around the country freely in order to work, to seek health care and to give or receive humanitarian aid .''
