The Interior Ministry in Sana’a Reveals Details of seizing a UAE Intelligence Cell
On Thursday, the Sana’a Interior Ministry revealed the arrest of an intelligence cell linked to the Saudi-Emirati coalition that sought to destabilize the security and public tranquility enjoyed by citizens.
Sana’a – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
According to Colonel Abdul Khaliq Al-Ajri, the Interior Ministry’s spokesman, they had discovered a cell that had been recruited by “Shazbi Mohammed Hussein Al-Shazbi, who is currently in Marib, and was tasked with monitoring and collecting information and coordinates on military and security leaders and prominent figures” from the anti-coalition elements. Additionally, the cell kept track on “sensitive locations and military sites in the areas under the authority of the Supreme Political Council.” After that, “the intelligence agency of the Emirati enemy country will target them with explosive materials and financial amounts for the accused cell field official, Ali Muhammad Hussein Al-Shazbi.
On July 3, 2023, “the movements of the field leader of the criminal cell, Ali Mohammed Hussein Al-Shazbi,” according to Al-Ajri, were observed. The accused was preparing an explosive device and explaining how to plant it and deliver it to Abdullah Saleh Ahmed Al-Hajj, who was supposed to carry out an attack on a location in Sana’a, when the explosive device exploded inside the car, killing the accused Ali Mohammed Al-Shazbi and seriously injuring the other, resulting in the amputation of his right leg. The accused was driving a white Hyundai Accent taxi with the number 1-41101 in the Dabwa area of the Sanhan district.
The interior ministry’s spokesman confirmed the intelligence plans of the coalition countries had been thwarted by “the arrest of the criminal cell members in the free areas and the confiscation of explosive materials sent by the Emirati intelligence agency before its criminal elements could achieve their goal.” He warned that “the enemy’s attempts, whether in the capital Sana’a or the free provinces, will not be far from the monitoring and follow-up of security agencies.”
