ADEN-SABA
Yemen's Government has condemned as "a despicable crime" the execution of a doctor by terrorist militants in the central Yemeni province of Beidha.

In a statement to Saba, Information Minister Muammar al-Eryani said the timing of the crime of executing Madhehar Alyoosufi, a doctor, raises questions about the Houthi "use of the terrorism issue to impose puthist plots and justify their aggression against the noble people of Beidha."

Al-Eryani said the Houthi militia turn their back to "Al-Qaeda and Daesh camps and focus their attacks on the national army and popular supporters in order to expand the security vacuum for the other terror groups."

The minister said the Houthis, Al-Qaeda and Daesh are in full liaison and collusion with each other.

The minister said the government has engaged in open confrontation with terrorists and drove them away from Hadhramout, Shabwah and Abya with backing from Saudi Arabia. He said the government is even committed to confront terror groups whatever their names are and wherever they are to assert the control of the Yemeni state over all the country's territories.

The only terror camps and footholds left in Al-Qaeda's hands in Yemen lie in Beidha, adjacent to those of Houthis.
