At the beginning of the month, highly influential former President of
Yemen Abdullah Saleh was assassinated at one of his residences. It is
reported that his body was displayed to
the public to show them that the “traitor” was killed, while making “an
attempt to escape.” It is believed that this longtime Yemeni strongman
was shot by a Houthi sniper. Anyone who’s familiar with the Houthi
resistance movement would be quick to point out that this murder doesn’t
fall into the pattern of typical steps that this group has made. As a
matter of fact, such an approach to taking down a target is typical for
professional hitmen, hired by an external power to “handle tricky
affairs” in a particular fashion.
