Houthi leader Abdul Malik earns scorn after claiming US spreading AIDS in Yemen

JEDDAH: The recent claim by a Houthi leader that the US is responsible for the spread of disease in Yemen has been met with derision across social media in the country.
From his hideout Saada, Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, leader of the Houthi militia in Yemen, gave a speech on the anniversary of the death of the group’s figurehead Hussein Badreddin Al-Houthi, in which he alleged that the US had spread AIDS and cancer across the war-torn country.
