Just as the Libyan fighters who successfully managed to force Colonel Gaddafi out of power after 4 long decades, rummage through piles of classified documents, letters between Colonel Gaddafi and Hussein al-Ahmar were allegedly unveiled, linking the latter to a plot against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
According to some, Sheikh Faris Menna and Sheikh Hussein would have received funds from the Libyan regime, against promises that they would try to destabilize Saudi Arabia by way of arms.
Hussein al-Ahmar upon such accusations, immediately issued a statement stressing that there was no truth to the allegations and that there was neither any proof to support it. He also said that unless the press retracted its previous statements he would be forced to sue his detractors for defamation.
In his statement the Sheikh expressed his greatest regards and respect towards the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as the country always had been the greatest ally in the region for Yemen.
