قبل قليل تم اختطاف العالِم الداعية طاهر بن حسين العطاس من أمام منزله عند عودته من صلاة الفجر في مدينة تريم.
وأُحمّل مسؤولية عودته لزوجته وأطفاله سالمًا لكلٍ من رئيس الدولة ونائبه والمحافظ، وقيادة المنطقة الأولى على وجه الخصوص لأن الخاطفين توجهوا إلى منطقة تقع تحت نفوذهم.— علي الجفري (@alhabibali) October 12, 2021
In his statement, al-Jafri held top officials in the Hadi puppet government responsible for the fate of al-Attas.
