Sending the new terrorist cell to stand trial comes at the time when 36 terrorists of al-Houthi followers are under trial. These terrorists were previously arrested involved in issues and criminal acts similar acts and thus the number of terrorist elements from al-Houthi followers some of whom were tried and others are still under trial amounted to more than 50 elements.

In late last month the minister of interior Dr Rashad Al-Alimi announced in a press conference in Sana'a that security men managed to defuse 5 explosive charges planted by al-Houthi terrorist elements in separate areas in the capital on the eve of celebrating the 17th national day of Yemen and in the same day an explosive charge went off causing the death of one child and wounding of another.

Since their starting of the war in Saada for the last months the terrorists there have intentionally worked for stopping development projects there, setting fire and plundering hospitals and health and educational institutions and destruction of roads in addition to attacks on citizens' properties and lives.
In the mid of last February al-Houthi terrorists killed a school teacher in the district of Haydan, Saada, while other elements hanged a resident of Dhahyan district, killed the former secretary general of Majaz local council. All those crimes lately carried out by the terrorists reflect a state of hatred and addition to revenge from the inhabitants of the governorate and destruction of its development.

At that time the Yemeni minister of defence affirmed that acts carried out by elements of terrorism inflicted damage on security and stability of the governorate and created fear and horror among the inhabitants of the governorate. Those acts, he added, caused the destruction of their properties and kidnapping and killing of their daughters. That has later disclosed the existence of hostile parties the official sources revealed they are implementing hostile schemes intending to settle their accounts on the Yemeni territories and at the expense of Yemen's interest.

On the other hand the specialised penal court had on 22 November 2006 approved results of the trial of the first terrorist cell of executing the firs accused and the imprisonment of 25 others for terms between three to ten years.
