Sahwa Net- Head of Iraq parliament’s Foreign Committee Sheikh Hamam Hamaudi has called for establishing a headquarters for al-Houthi rebels in Baghdad as a response to providing a shelter for Ba’ath Party’s members by the Yemeni regime.
Hamaudi pointed out that there are bids to form a resistant coalition that might embrace violence against the Iraqi government.
Hamam Hamoudi, close to Iran, is a prominent leader of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq. Political analysts considered Hamoudi’a call pressures practiced against states which harbor Iraqi oppositionists.
Yemeni security has been unable to locate Saddam’s nephew since the Interpol extradiction request was issued by Iraq to Yemen in errr 2006 or thereabouts. He is alleged to be directing and financing the terrorist acts in northern Iraq from Yemen. The substantial level of aid and support for the Iraq resistance coming from Yemen, officially and unofficially, will become more of an issue as US troops take a backseat in security measures in Iraq. There was a mass exodus of Iraqi military personnel starting in 2003, and many were given positions in the Yemeni military, a factor that later impacted the Sa’ada War and the Iraq War.
