Aden- The Yemeni-American political and human rights activist Jalal Al-Salahi warned the security authorities in the United States of the possibility that a number of loyalists to the Houthi terrorist group would carry out a number of terrorist acts inside the country in react to the American-British attacks on Houthi targets inside a number of cities in northern Yemen.
Al-Salahi called on the American security authorities to monitor a Houthi supporters, noting that he did not rule out their carrying out acts of sabotage and violence.
They believe that their leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi in Yemen, receives orders from a god as a descendant of the Islamic Prophet Mohammed.
Moreover, the United States and United Kingdom carried out large-scale military strikes on Monday against eight sites in Yemen controlled by Houthi militants, according to the two countries. The strikes signaled that the Biden administration intends to wage a sustained and, at least for now, open-ended campaign against the Iran-backed group that has disrupted traffic in vital international sea lanes.
The strikes — the eighth in nearly two weeks — hit multiple targets at each site, and were bigger and broader than a recent series of more limited attacks against individual Houthi missiles that the Americans said popped up on short notice. Those missiles were hit before they could be fired at ships in the Red Sea or the Gulf of Aden.
This middle ground reflects the administration’s attempt to chip away at the Houthis’ ability to menace merchant ships and military vessels but not hit so hard as to kill large numbers of Houthi fighters and commanders, and potentially unleash even more mayhem into a region already teetering on the edge of a wider war.
“Let us reiterate our warning to Houthi leadership: We will not hesitate to defend lives and the free flow of commerce in one of the world’s most critical waterways in the face of continued threat,” the American and British governments said in a statement.
