3:22 pm
saudi role in yemen has always been complex. has always been complicating the saudis did not like condi in the end toward the end they saw him as independent of them of course they saw him as perhaps threatening because he was able to consolidate the country behind him very difficult thing to do in yemen. and he also had particular international efforts to try and rope the relationship with the south yemen and of the saudis would be very . anxious if there were any moves to unify the country all good days for one week and the hope. that about me my short. and what any any other would mean not sure that i have any. good enough so if
3:23 pm
that is so the. and yet that minister. you give and she'd. make it and machine mini me. not wanting to risk alienating the country's neighbor president al hamdi flew to saudi arabia his aim to reassure the saudis that his desire was to forge a new relationship one that looked to a shared and prosperous future according to president al homsi spokesman to accompany the leader the visit ended prematurely. never has and will look at the military. which are headed up. we certainly had better better had. congress there were.

3:26 pm
most favorite and most. tried and true i hate to say true it wasn't but which is to pay off give money to those tribes that they thought would support them and what it meant was create problems for this interim government in this case hamdi to try to keep him from becoming too strong and i think in the end they just decided he was a threat and decided to remove it. says he was in the latter really if he's got a sentence or already can enter and has said it's only. the latin america the levy to. blame and if it's an out of the national. i would like to sort out while i will not i will. let other lamina govern. galli egypt

3:40 pm
. another more euro to count said that al hamdi and his brother had rented a small house and away that they had picked up 2 french girls and that somehow both brothers had been murdered not only had the president been killed but it appeared that his character was also under assassination. a good deal he had for. what happened then in get can where when. and when you walk in with a laugh when i mean malik and me. and one of the french connection the 2 women who were said to her being with the brothers not only did the exist but they were indeed murdered in yemen around the same time as president are harmed their names were very unique twat and france was

3:46 pm
assassination albeit in directly. their suspicion was that those who benefited most from the crime had links to saudi arabia. the widespread view what i heard from yemeni contacts friends in private of course was that these assassinations hassidim hamdi was. it was a saudi run operation using yemenis who were in there pay more. people the dog would do their back and among those was crushed me and certainly only dulles allah of the summer was a colonel and tie is. no one was ever charged with the murder neither me

mission in yemen who arrived in sanaa 2 months after the murder of a humvee key diplomatic cables from the time have been released others remain under lock and key the reasons why the government might not declassify which is the is the word to make it public would be perhaps there are intelligence sources really there are quotes or connections with individuals who are still alive who might be compromised by what's in the message could be american intelligence people because the yemeni political figures that would be one reason why you might not do it the 2nd might be that there is something in the message which would undermine our relationship it was with another country. another cable this time declassified from british diplomats in saudi arabia in 1977 sheds further details on the denial of sodium. it was in response to news agency reports in the region and to
3:49 pm
a bulletin on radio moscow the statement added that saudi arabia would stand by those they refer to as their brothers in yemen recognizing the close ties between humvee and saudi arabia. breaking the news to the yemeni people that their president had been killed was a task that fell to al hunt his official spokesman. he was summoned to the office of all hashmi the recently installed president and asked to draft a statement the result was an announcement that was high on emotion and low on details. i would never the lower east usually in mono you know. who know if he has a. fish or let me get collagen emotion and then i won't let i
