Interior Ministry accused Houthis of drug dealing, and using its funds to buy weapons and equipment they use in their rebellion.
For their part, sources in the Yemeni Center for Information Security, said, according to security organs, that there is a relationship between drug traffickers and Hothis, who provide them a safe haven and protection as well. "Drug dealing is widely spread among Hothis. This was uncovered while questioning their elements who were arrested during the various rebellion stages in some areas of Sa'ada," sources said.
Security services accused Houthis of attracting elements who are involved in drug dealing to be their supporters that their rebellion has become so infested with drug traffickers and addicts."
On the other hand, Houthi sources said that Abdul Malik Al-Houthi received a six war threat by President Ali Abdullah Saleh via one of the Mediation Committee members.
"Threats sent by the President via the Mediation Committee member were very strong, and it seems to be a sixth war declaration," Houthis' source said adding no more details.
As a result Houthis showed extensive preparations for a surprise attack. Houthis claimed that the army took advantage of the search process of the kidnapped foreigners in Sa'ada just to scour the area not to find them but to locate Houthis' leaders explaining that the aircrafts keep always scouring Houthis' areas leaving places where the kidnapped are suspected to be.
Meanwhile, Hothis' information office said that 25 soldiers, who were arrested in last week confrontations between them and the army, were released and handed over to the Mediation Committee criticizing the authority's insistence on keeping Houthi detainees tortured and harassed in their jails.
