A prominent Houthi leader died in mysterious circumstances

Sources in Sanaa announced today the sudden death of the son of the deputy head of the so-called Houthi security and intelligence, Major General Abdul Qader Al-Shami, 37, amid heated disputes that reached internal assassination between the wings of the Houthi militia. Without talking about the causes and nature of his death.

His sudden death raised the astonishment of the popular circles, especially since the death was not preceded by symptoms and he did not complain of any ill health, as it occurred a few hours after he published a lengthy post on his Facebook page, as is his custom, without hinting at health details.

The death of Abdul Qader Al Shami’s son recalled the death of his cousin, Major General Zakaria Al Shami, and his mother and father, Major General Yahya Al Shami at the same time, which sources confirmed at the time that they had been taken out by the Houthis, within the framework of the deepening internal disputes.

Informed sources said that the circumstances of the death of Ali Abdul Qader were completely similar to the circumstances of the killing of Yahya, his wife and their son Zakaria, which further confirms the authenticity of the rumors about the assassination of Al Shami family who belongs to Ibb governorate.

After the death of Yahya Al Shami, the Houthi leadership placed strict control on all Al Shami’s family, whether they were high-ranking officials in the group or relatives of the deceased for fear of any reaction.

The smoke of disputes has recently escalated between Ali Abdul Qader Al Shami and the influential Houthi wings.
