– Sa'ada terrorist elements use citizens as human armors, authorities accuse rebels of wearing women dresses while plotting terrorist offensives
The weekly paper reported that the security authorities arrested a group of terrorists put on women dresses while plotting to launch terrorist operations on several targets. It added that the terrorist elements, who fuelled the sedition in some Sa'ada districts as directed by their leaders Abdulmalik Al-Houthi and Abdullah Al-Rizami, rejected a request by religious clerics and social personalities to stop entrenching in Dhehyan area and return home.
Also, the rebels were asked to leave their positions on the top of mountains and not to use aged people, women and children as human armors, as well to stop attacking innocent citizens and military and security troops and refrain from damaging public and private properties. The government accused Al-Houthi-led rebels of exercising highway activities, intimidating commuters and deterring traffic.
According to official sources, Dhehyan innocent locals evicted their homes because the terrorist acts target their lives and property. The sources added that in response to directives from high-ranking military commanders and local authorities, the military and security forces vowed to besiege the entrenching terrorists and tighten the noose around them without any armed confrontations in order to save lives of Dhehyan locals.
