Brother of Yemen’s Houthi leader assassinated near Sanaa

Ibrahim Badreddin Al Houthi, the brother of Yemen’s Houthi rebel leader Abdulmalik Al Houthi, was assassinated this week, several outlets reported on Friday.
Reuters, quoting a Yemeni security source, said the senior leader was found dead in a house near the capital, Sanaa.
The Houthi owned Al Masirah channel announced the killing on Friday, blaming "the treacherous hands affiliated with the US-Israeli aggression and its tools assassinated Ibrahim Badreddin Al Houthi.”
But Al Alrabiya news station released its own detailed account of the killing, claiming Ibrahim Al Houthi was assassinated in his car on Wednesday at 8pm local time while en route from Omran to Sanaa.
It said the killing was an inside job in a battle between different Houthi wings, and added that the senior figure was killed along with nine of his guards.
Ibrahim Al Houthi was a de facto finance minister for the Iran-supported rebel movement’s government. His killing was mourned by at least one other Iran affiliated group, Hezbollah.AFP
