U.S. authorities have arrested a 51-year-old electrical engineer from the Department of Energy on charges of attempting to assist the Houthis in developing their capabilities in communications. The arrest follows a trip to Yemen and the purchase of materials used in the manufacturing of explosives and drones. The accused faces charges of attempting to provide both financial and technical support to the Houthis. It has been revealed that he traveled to Yemen using an official passport and claimed to be on a government mission, despite the Department of Energy denying any official assignment.
