Khaberni - The leader of the Houthi group, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, on Thursday evening, leveled direct and unprecedented accusations at United Nations-affiliated organizations, including the World Food Programme and UNICEF, of involvement in "spying and aggressive activities", alleging that some of their staff played a role in the Israeli raid that targeted his internationally unrecognized government's meeting in late August, which resulted in the death of the head of the Houthi government and several of his ministers.
In a televised speech today, Thursday, he said that "one of the most dangerous spying cells active in the country belongs to organizations operating in the humanitarian field, notably the World Food Programme and UNICEF," and claimed that his group has "conclusive information and clear evidence" on what he described as the "spying role of these cells."
Al-Houthi added that in the incident of targeting the government, "there was a role for a cell affiliated with the World Food Programme, headed by the head of security and safety at the program's branch in Yemen," pointing out that "this cell monitored the government meeting and reported it" to the Israeli side and "coordinated the targeting process."
Al-Houthi accused what he described as "the spying cells" of aiming to "stir chaos internally for the benefit of Americans and Israelis," asserting that their members "received high-level training and were equipped with sensitive technological means typically used by global intelligence agencies."
