YEMENI ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh was assassinated by his erstwhile Houthi allies yesterday while allegedly fleeing to Saudi Arabia.
Houthi militia released a video showing Mr Saleh’s bloodied body, wrapped in a blanket, being lifted into a pick-up truck. He was apparently killed in an ambush on the road to Marib, east of the capital Sanaa.
Earlier Iran’s Press TV reported an unconfirmed bombing of Mr Saleh’s home in Sanaa.
