Plot to Attack Yemeni Capital Has Failed: Ansarullah Official
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A senior member of the political bureau of Yemen’s Houthi Ansarullah movement underlined that the plan of attack on the capital, Sana’a, has gotten nowhere.
“The plot to attack Sana’a is aimed at putting (Yemen’s) army and popular committees under pressure,” Zeifollah al-Shami told the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar.
All the media controversy about the attack is part of the psychological warfare of the enemy, the Yemeni official noted.
He further emphasized that even if such a plot is carried out, it will be dealt with vigilantly and decisively by the Yemeni forces.
The London-based Asharq al-Awsat recently quoted sources as saying that certain Arab states in the Persian Gulf region are training Yemeni tribes to mount attacks on Sana’a.
Meantime, the coalition led by the Saudi regime continue their massive attacks on Yemen’s defenseless people.
On March 26, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies, including the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain, began to launch deadly airstrikes against the Houthi Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, a close ally of Riyadh.
More than 4000 people, many of them children and women, have been killed in the Saudi-led aggression against the Arab country so far.
