Member of the Joint Meeting Parties (JMP), opposition coalition, Haidar Mohammad Farha al-Hazmi, was killed Saturday by a mine planted under his car seat.
Security director of Sana’a province Mohammad Tareeq said investigations are ongoing to divulge the killer and unveil motives behind the assassination.

Al-Hazmi was also member of the local council of Arhab district, north Sana’a. JMP has condemned the murder and asked for the arrest of criminals, but did not accuse anyone. It called people to offer any information may lead to assassin.

JMP warned of consequences of such “unprecedented” crime, calling on security authorities without delay to bring criminals to justice.

Two weeks ago, a security official was assassinated in Mareb by a letter bomb. The operation was described to be the first of its kind.
