RIYADH, July 2 (KUNA) -- Secretary General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Dr. Abdulatif Al-Zayani strongly condemned here on Thursday the "dreadful crime committed by Houthis militants in randomly raiding Al-Mansour neighborhood in Aden city on Wednesday, which resulted in the death and injury of tens of innocent people." He added in press remarks that such systematic attacks launched by Houthis' militants on the armless citizens especially in Aden and Taiz cities are considered "heinous crimes which are incompatible with the principles of the Islamic religion and prohibited by international laws".
