Larijani In Yemen On Reassurance Visit

The London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reports that Iranian Majlis speaker Ali Larijani is visiting Yemen to reassure it regarding fears of Iranian involvement in rebel activity in southern Yemen, and regarding activity by the Houthis in the Sa’ada district in northern Yemen.

Senior Yemeni officials have accused Iran of supporting the Houthis (see Yemeni Official: Iran Clearly Involved In Al-Houthi Rebellion).

According to the report, Larijani told Yemen President Ali Abdallah Saleh that his country supported Yemen’s stability and security.

SNIPPET: “SANAA, May 19 (KUNA) — A senior Yemeni official warned on Tuesday of acts of sabotage that could be jointly launched by Al-Qaeda Organization in the Arabian Peninsula and the local militant group of Al-Hawthis.”

SNIPPET: “”The organization could join hands with Al-Hawthis in wreaking havoc on Yemen and use the country as a launch pad for their terrorist acts regionally and internationally,” he warned.

Al-Alimi made the remarks after Al-Qaeda leader Abu Basir Nasser Al-Wahayshi approved in an audio tape on Wednesday the militant activities in southern part of the Arabian Peninsula in a clear reference to Yemen.

“Al-Wahayshi’s statements coincided with call of Abdel Malik Al-Hawthi for his followers (Hawthis) in Saada province to launch acts of sabotage. This synchronization indicates that there is a clear coordination between the two armed groups,” the senior official noted.”
