CEP Releases Report on Iranian-Backed Houthis in Yemen

Group's Slogan: "Death to America! Death to Israel! Curse Upon the Jews!" 

CEP today released a new report on the Iranian-backed Houthis of Yemen, a group of insurgents who on October 9 and 12 attempted to strike U.S. Naval vessels with Iranian supplied cruise missiles. The Houthis have waged a series of bloody insurgencies against the Yemeni government for more than a decade, leading a 2004 rebellion and rejecting a 2011 peace agreement to end the country's civil war. In 2014, the Houthis captured Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, forcing President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi to flee the country.
