The announcement by the Houthis of the killing of the perpetrators...

Today, Wednesday, the Houthi militia said that it had managed to arrest one of the perpetrators of the assassination, the “Minister of Youth and Sports” in the internationally unrecognized government, Hassan Zaid, and the death of his other companion, before returning later to announce the death of the arrested person, of his wounds.

The account of the Houthi militia’s Al Masirah TV channel, on Twitter, was reported by the Ministry of the Interior, announcing that “the second perpetrator of the crime of assassinating Minister Hassan Zeid succumbed to his wounds after being treated.”

Earlier today, Wednesday, the Houthi militia announced that its “security forces” had managed to arrest one of the perpetrators of the assassination of Zaid, and the killing of his other colleague, during an exchange of fire, after they failed to try to escape and exit from Dhamar Governorate, before returning after that to announce the The seized person dies from his injury.

The spokesman for the Houthi “Ministry of Interior”, Brigadier General Abdul Khaleq Al-Ajri, said in a statement carried by the Houthi-controlled version of the Yemeni News Agency, that the security services were able “in cooperation with security and intelligence, to reach the perpetrators of the assassination of the Minister of Youth and Sports.”

Doubts

The Houthis ’announcement that the perpetrators of the assassination of the group’s leader and the minister in its government have been killed has reinforced suspicions among the Yemeni street that the assassination of the leader, Hassan Zaid, in the center of the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, under their control, and in which the Houthi’s numerous security and intelligence services are located, is part of an internal scheme To get rid of some of its leaders.

Yemeni journalist Zakaria Al-Kamali said in a tweet on Twitter: “Two hours ago (referring to the Houthis) they said the era of restricting the crime against an unknown has ended, and now the Houthi Ministry of Interior announces the death of the second accused of his wounds after the first was liquidated during a shooting. If the restriction is against unknown and not anonymous one. How do they announce that they are the perpetrators, not just suspects, without investigations and confessions? ”

Yemen’s ambassador to UNESCO, Muhammad Jumaih, commented on Twitter, saying, “The Houthis announced the arrest of the perpetrators of the assassination of Hassan Zaid, and an hour later they retracted that announcement announcing the killing of the attackers during an exchange of fire. So Zaid was killed, his killers were killed, and the case was over. A comfortable ending, but those who directed the play Saleh Escape to Marib are able to compose more ”.

The editor-in-chief of the local newspaper, “Aden al-Ghad”, Fathi bin Lazraq, said in his tweet on Twitter that “the Houthis’ announcement of the death of the perpetrators of the assassination of Hassan Zaid, according to their claim, is likely to be unrelated to the case. All of it seems that the group wants to accuse others, or that it is looking for something to save its face. The output for this incident is very poor, and it seems that we will see many developments in the coming days in Sana’a. ”

Yesterday, unknown gunmen assassinated the leader of the Houthi group and the “Minister of Youth and Sports” in their government, Hassan Zaid, after they intercepted his car, which he was traveling with his daughter, on a street in Sana’a, and shot him before they could escape. While Zaid and his injured daughter were taken to a hospital in Sana’a to try to help him, he later died of his severe wounds.
