Unknown gunmen assassinated Dhiya Al-Haq Al-Ahdal, a senior member of the Islah party, in Yemen's central Taiz city on Saturday morning.
The correspondent of Al-Sahwa Net website said the gunmen opened fire on Al-Ahdal immediately after he went out of his house in Jamal Street in the center of the city besieged by the Houthi militia.
Al-Ahda was one of the leading Islah members who formed the popular resistance against the Houthi militia and was the overseer of several prisoner exchange deals with the putschist militia.
