SANAA (Dispatches) – The Yemeni intelligence services has identified the team that assassinated Ibrahim al-Houthi, the brother of Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, finding footprints of the Saudi spy agencies.
The Arabic-language al-Mayadeen news channel quoted sources in Yemen as saying that most members of the assassination team have been arrested and are under interrogation.
They added that the team was affiliated to the Saudi intelligence agencies and was active under the supervision of one of the leaders of the militants loyal to the former president Ali Abdullah Salih.
A number of Yemeni Ansarullah commanders, including Ibrahim al-Houthi, were assassinated in western Sana'a on Friday.
"The treacherous hands affiliated with the U.S.-‘Israeli’ aggression and its tools assassinated Ibrahim Badreddine al-Houthi," according to a Friday statement from Yemen's Interior Ministry.
