Several criminals wanted mainly for destabilizing public security including by murders have been rounded up in a security crackdown ordered by Taiz's new governor Nabeel Shamsan.

The campaign mainly targeted marauding assassins and gangsters some of whom had independently controlled corners in the city. The Director of Taiz Security Department Mansour al-Akhalli said the campaign will continue until all the wanted militant are rounded up.
