SANA’A/ RIYADH: Yemeni security forces foiled a terror plot hatched by Saudi Arabia’s spy agencies to threaten security and stability in the capital Sana’a, as Riyadh and its allies maintain a deadly war and blockade against Yemen.
The Saudi General Intelligence Presidency (GIP), according to Yemen’s official Saba news agency, established a network of several operatives, equipped it with various types of munitions and explosive devices, and dispatched its members to regions recently liberated by Yemeni army troops and fighters from allied Popular Committees to kill ordinary people and undermine peace.
Yemeni security services had received intelligence that a Saudi-affiliated terror cell had been given three car bombs in the central province of Ma’rib and was being tasked with attacking important facilities in Sana’a and elsewhere in Yemen, according to the report.
Yemeni forces increased security measures in the vicinity of the targeted places, raised alert levels, put up checkpoints, and carefully examined automobiles at entry and exit points, according to the report.
As a result, the Public Prosecution granted Yemeni security forces authority to arrest persons accused of being involved in the terrorist plot.
According to preliminary findings, the Saudi-linked terrorist cell was directed by Naji Ali Saeed Munif, the commander of the military police in Ma’rib, and Adnan Ahmed Mohammed al-Dhiai, an officer in the Special Security Forces.
Moreover, the Saudi intelligence service sought to implement its terrorist plot with the help of its mercenaries, who hired a number of transport truck drivers as a cover in order to carry explosive-laden vehicles to designated sites.
The Saudi mercenaries exploited locals’ harsh conditions of living in order to lure them into engagement in criminal acts and attempts affecting national security.
Saba highlighted that Yemeni security forces are still following up on the case in order to capture all those involved in the terrorist plot and bring them to justice.
Saudi Arabia launched the devastating war against Yemen in March 2015 in collaboration with a number of its allies and with arms and logistics support from the US and several Western states.
The objective was to bring back to power the former Riyadh-backed regime and crush the popular Ansarullah resistance movement, which has been running state affairs in the absence of an effective government in Yemen.
The war has stopped well short of all of its goals, despite killing hundreds of thousands of Yemenis and turning the entire country into the scene of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.
Yemeni forces have continued to grow stronger in the face of the Saudi-led invaders, advancing toward strategic areas held by Saudi-led mercenaries, including Ma’rib province, and conducting several rounds of counterstrikes against Saudi Arabia and the UAE in recent months. (Int’l Monitoring Desk)
