No group has yet claimed responsibility for the killing of British-Yemeni dual national Wesam Qaid, but experts have told The National that suspicion is falling on the Houthis. Mr Qaid fled Sanaa two years ago. “They had threatened him a day before his killing due to his work in relocating the SFD from Sanaa to Aden,” said Baraa Shiban, researcher and political analyst on Yemen and the Gulf, at the Royal United Services Institute.
