The premier of Yemen's exiled yet internationally recognized government has claimed there is evidence that Iranian personnel were present at the site of a deadly airport attack that struck the southern city of Aden, an incident that Iranian officials have blamed on rival Saudi Arabia.
Yemeni Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed, who survived Wednesday's attack at Aden International Airport as he and his newly sworn-in officials departed their plane, revealed preliminary results of a probe into the incident by the administration of exiled President Abed Rabbo Mansour.
In his remarks Thursday, Saeed blamed the bloodshed on Ansar Allah, the Zaidi Shiite Muslim group also known as the Houthi movement, which he accused of firing three guided missiles at the crowded airport site. He then alleged direct involvement by the rebel group's foreign partner, Iran.
Of course Iran blames the Saudis.
