Aden, NewsYemen, special:

 Media sources affiliated with the terrorist Houthi militia, Iran's arm in Yemen, said that a "Pakistani immigrant" was killed, on Wednesday, in a bombing by government and Saudi forces on the "Al-Raqw" area in the Munabbih district of Saada governorate, the stronghold of the group and its leader Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi.

It added, in news on the "Al-Masirah Urgent" network, that a Pakistani immigrant was killed and four Africans were wounded, in the bombing of the area, without indicating why the Pakistani and Africans were present in that area that is constantly targeted by government forces, Saudi artillery, and Arab coalition fighters.

While the militias called him a Pakistani and African immigrant, local sources in the directorate confirmed that the bombing affected a Houthi training site in the “Al Raqo” area near the market center of the Munabbih district, which includes foreign elements and African refugees who were deceived by the militias to fight in their ranks, and sarcastically asked:  Where does the Pakistani migrate in Saada?

The sources also confirmed to NewsYemen that what was described as the Pakistani immigrant is one of the al-Qaeda terrorist elements, who are among the Houthis for training at the site, along with dozens of African mercenaries and elements of different nationalities, whose training is supervised by elements of the Lebanese Hezbollah, to implement operations in the Saudi depth.

It explained that the site is dedicated to foreign mercenaries who are brought in to fight in the ranks of the Houthis, and it is under the supervision of foreign training experts, and usually those who are targeted by the coalition and Saudi artillery because of the danger it poses to the Kingdom.

The Pakistani al-Qaeda member is the second member of the Houthis to be killed in less than a week, after the killing of the leader of the organization that was recently buried in Sana'a, Arif Saleh Ali Majali, one of the most prominent leaders of the organization, and one of the accused with his brother-in-law, "Fawaz al-Rubaie" in the bombing the US destroyer "USS Cole" off Aden in October 2000

With the death of the Pakistani as the second member of the organization, he reveals the extent of the coordination process between the organization and the militias, their assembly and training near the Yemeni-Saudi border, under the auspices of the Lebanese Hezbollah, which suggests that the next stage will witness operations of the organization and under the auspices of Iran’s arms in the “Houthi-Hezbollah” region inside the Saudi depth

The militias had recently used the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda to mobilize to support its collapsed fronts, after the tribes rejected the Houthi calls for mobilization. On February 19, a meeting was held between 7 leaders of Al-Qaeda, headed by the leader of the organization, "Nayef Al-Awaj", and Houthi leaders from some apparatus.  Preventive security is called "intelligence", at the National Security headquarters in the "Sarf" area, north of Sana'a, to coordinate the process of mobilizing fighters.

It is noteworthy that the UN Security Council recently issued Resolution No. 2624 banning the Houthis from arms and classifying them as a terrorist group.
