“Ten people from the opposition Islamic Islah Party and Shiite Houthis were killed and several others injured in clashes that erupted after Houthis found out a member of the Islah Party wearing an explosive belt and killed him before he attempted to blow himself up during Houthis’ Shia annual religious festival of Eid al-Ghadir in al-Mutoon district in Al-Jouf,” said the ministry in a statement posted on its website.

Meanwhile, the Houthi’s media office said in a statement that ” they foiled Monday a suicide bomb attack targeted a festival gathering of their supporters in al-Mutoon district.”

“An unidentified person tried to join a procession of Houthi supporters en route to celebrate the day of al-Ghadir festival, and when the procession’s escorts intercepted him, they found a wire of an explosive belt concealed with him,” said the Houthi statement, obtained by Xinhua.

“The escorts shot him dead before he blew himself up,” the statement said, blaming the suicide attempt on a “plot by the U.S. intelligence.”
