Yemeni security forces thwart large-scale terrorist plot

Yemeni security and intelligence services have revealed on Tuesday the details of a thwarting of a terrorist plot by the Saudi-led coalition services, which was set to target the security and safety of the capital Sana’a.

According to Saba news agency, the security services explained in a statement that the enemy had recruited a terrorist cell, equipped a number of booby-trapped cars, and sent them on a mission to murder people in the free regions of Yemen.

It indicated that the Saudi intelligence had recruited people in Ma’rib to equip three booby-trapped cars that were set to target vital places in the capital Sana’a and other liberated provinces.

Based on the intelligence information, the security services deployed and distributed investigation and control teams, engineering teams and qualitative task forces in the vicinity of the targeted places, raising the state of alertness, repositioning and deploying, creating checkpoints, circulating types of car bombs at security points and securing the land ports.

The agencies also issued permission from the Public Prosecution to arrest those involved in this conspiracy. The preliminary results concluded that those involved in treason are linked to the Saudi intelligence services, led by US-Saudi mercenary Naji Munif, who is commander of the military police in Ma’rib, Adnan al-Daya’i, an officer in the Special Security Forces, and Mane’e Suleiman, head of the Psychological Warfare Division in the Third Military Region.

According to the released information, the Saudi intelligence prepared the criminal plan with the help of its mercenaries, by using heavy transportation as a cover for transporting cars prepared for bombing.

The coalition forces also recruited women during the process of smuggling car bombs from checkpoints. The aggression exploited people’s poor living conditions and promised to solve some of their problems in case they were involved in criminal activities.

The security services confirmed that they are still following up on the case’s procedures until all those involved in these terrorist acts are brought to justice.
