Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed Monday that they had arrested members of a so-called 'American-Israeli spy network' that allegedly started operating out of Sanaa.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels said Monday they had arrested members of an 'American-Israeli spy network' days after detaining at least 11 U.N. staffers along with others from aid organizations. Maj. Gen. Abdulhakim al-Khayewani, head of the Houthis’ intelligence agency, announced the arrests, saying the spy network had first operated out of the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa.
The United Nations on Friday announced the arrests of 11 Yemeni staffers. Six worked for the U.N.’s human rights agency, while one apiece worked for its special envoy’s office, its development arm, UNICEF, the World Food Program and UNESCO. Other aid groups also reported employees detained, though the total number was not known.
However, it comes as the Houthis have faced issues with having enough currency to support the economy in areas they hold. Yemen’s exiled government in the southern city of Aden have demanded all banks move their headquarters there as a means to stop the worst slide ever in the value of the currency and re-exert their control over the economy.
