Yemeni security forces dismantle Saudi, British espionage network
Yemeni security forces have dismantled an extensive espionage network accused of working for Britain and Saudi Arabia, amid operations against Israeli assets in the occupied territories in retaliation for the regime’s campaign of genocide in Gaza.
The Yemeni Security and Intelligence Service announced in a statement on Monday that the country’s law enforcement forces apprehended members of a spy network affiliated with Britain’s notorious Secret Intelligence Service (SISI), also known as MI6, who were working in coordination with the Saudi General Intelligence Presidency (GIP).
The statement added that the spies were tasked with collecting sensitive information on Yemen's strategic facilities, including missile launch pads, drone operations, and the movements of high-profile military and political figures.
They had been trained in the Saudi capital Riyadh, supplied with sophisticated surveillance tools, and dispatched on missions to monitor sensitive locations and gather critical data.
The Yemeni Security and Intelligence Service underlined its full commitment to countering foreign acts of espionage, urging the Yemeni people to report suspicious activities.
It also warned of severe penalties for those found to be collaborating with hostile foreign intelligence agencies.
In June, Yemen's security forces busted an espionage network accused of working for the United States and Israel.
Yemen's Security and Intelligence Service announced on June 10 that they had exposed a large espionage network active within various government departments for the past eight years.
“The exposed network collected important information in various fields and carried out direct espionage technical operations on behalf of the enemy’s intelligence services to obtain confidential, sovereign information,” Major General Abdul Hakim Hashem al-Khaiwani, head of Yemen’s Security and Intelligence Service, stated during a televised address.
Security authorities reported that the US-Israeli-led network had recruited officials within the Yemeni government to influence decision-makers and infiltrate state agencies.
The spies also conducted operations aimed at spreading diseases to compromise Yemen's health system and promoted "moral corruption" to undermine the country's education system.
