The Yemeni Ministry of Interior accused the Houthi group of involvement in the assassination of a government agency official in Aden early last May.
These accusations came during discussions via video communication technology, today (Friday), between the Yemeni Minister of Interior, Ibrahim Haidan, and the European Union Ambassador to Yemen, Patrick Simonet, according to a statement by the Yemeni Ministry of Interior.
The Yemeni official confirmed that the security services arrested a number of suspects in the assassination of the Executive Director of the Social Fund for Development, Wissam Qaed.
He explained that investigations and evidence confirm the involvement of the Houthi group in the crime, while the group continues to detain a number of employees of the United Nations and international organizations in its prisons.
The Yemeni minister informed the European ambassador that the security services are continuing to complete investigation procedures, collect evidence, and prosecute those involved, stressing that the crime cannot be separated from the complex security climate that the country has been experiencing for years.
It is noteworthy that on May 3, gunmen kidnapped the director of the Social Fund for Development, Wissam Qaed, from Aden, before he was liquidated, in a crime that received widespread international and international condemnation.
The assassination of “Qaid,” who was managing the largest donor funding portfolio in Yemen, represented one of dozens of incidents that targeted relief and development workers in local and international agencies active in this country, and the Houthis, terrorist organizations, and several parties stood behind it.
