Yemen-based Houthi group has released videos that it says show how it identified and arrested spies working on behalf of the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia, reports Al Jazeera.
The security services of the Houthis released a statement that said British and Saudi intelligence “sought to attract, recruit and train espionage elements for the purpose of carrying out intelligence activities targeting the country’s strategic capabilities”.
This purported effort was mostly focused around Houthi missile and drone manufacturing and launch sites, it said, along with monitoring of homes and movement of a number of Yemeni leaders amid Israeli threats of assassination against them.
“The information obtained confirmed that British intelligence officers used Saudi territory as a centre for managing and implementing intelligence activities,” the group said, also airing blurred-out videos of forced confessions from alleged suspects.
