Sana'a: The Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badreddin al-Houthi, disclosed that definitive information was obtained about the criminal, espionage role of cells - who were arrested and are affiliated with humanitarian organizations.
According to Yemen News Agency, in his remarks today, the Leader of the Revolution said that one of the prominent crimes committed by these espionage cells from among organization staff was playing a central role in the Israeli targeting of the government meeting: they monitored the meeting, reported it to the Israeli enemy, and accompanied the crime. He pointed out that in the government-targeting incident there was a role for a cell linked to the World Food Programme, headed by the head of security and safety for the programme's Yemen office.
'We are fully confident and certain of the facts regarding the cells affiliated with the organizations, and we possess all the evidence about them,' he said, stressing the need to expose those organizational cells because some people do not comprehend the facts, are swayed by media noise, and imagine that there is an unjustified targeting of those cells and a failure to appreciate their role inside humanitarian organizations.
He added: 'We are keen on what is good for our people and their service, but the matter is no different - except in form - from the death-traps the Americans played in the Gaza Strip, because the Americans and Israelis saw humanitarian organizations as an important cover that protects those cells from arrest and facilitates their movement with the capabilities provided to them: surveillance and targeting devices and technical equipment to breach communications.'
He said that the organization-affiliated cells were furnished with espionage equipment and capabilities typically used by global intelligence agencies, and that they have evidence of this; all blame, he said, is directed at the United Nations and those organizations which, instead of taking a position against American and Israeli infiltration and manipulation of their staff, have failed to do so.
The Leader of the Revolution considered the blaming of security agencies and the government in Sana'a to be an attempt to exonerate the perpetrators and those cells that carried out the criminal role. He pointed out that worldwide - even in Western countries and in UN charters - there is no provision or law that permits employees of humanitarian or UN organizations to engage in espionage, aggression, or criminal actions in any country, nor is there any immunity that protects humanitarian organization staff from accountability and prosecution for such acts.
He also affirmed that what those organizations have done is outside their humanitarian role; rather, it is an aggressive criminal role aimed at a people and a state, and that the sensationalized blaming, media pressure, and political pressure are intended only to secure protection for the cells so they can continue their criminal activity against the Yemeni people.
He explained that the espionage cells seek to stir chaos internally for the benefit of the Americans and Israelis, stressing that all the subversive tracks that aimed at undermining the security of the Yemeni people have failed badly compared to the enormous and tempting capabilities the enemies devoted to this effort.
The Leader noted that there was an attempt to incite sedition and chaos and tear apart the social fabric, but it failed miserably because the Yemeni people rose from an iman- and jihad-based standpoint, continue building their capabilities, and have preserved all elements of strength.
