4:10 am
theatre to get through that if you look at the real me a man nothe. cream he. you've got a little more business try to live you know. i'm going to home. well yemen has never been as prosperous as its gulf neighbors it does occupy an important strategic position at the mouth of the red sea. historically yemen had been ruled by and divided between the ottoman and british empires the north declared independence in 1962 and the south in 19673 years later south yemen would become the only marxist country in the region allying itself with the soviet union. meanwhile ibrahim a humvee was becoming a rising star of yemeni politics in 1992 he was transferred from a mid ranking military role to become deputy prime minister and later that same
4:11 am
year deputy commander in chief of the armed forces 2 years later our humvee emerged as the figurehead of the self-proclaimed corrective movement a manifesto for an imminent crude atar. andy hiller. calander is little is that colored letter because they'll go at that and then they allow to start the press have. so over the year. they yell handy fi go out and sell our mad cow at the umbrella had the good weather and with the. latitude. on the 13th of june 19 17400 made his move this british embassy cable from the north yemen capital sanaa reported the resignation of the event president. there were other high profile

4:16 am
a charismatic figure a populous with a clear political plan and he knew that in order to bring about the kind of changes that he wanted to see in the country that it was necessary to strengthen government institutions and i think his vision was to build upon the success of these local cooperative associations he was certainly the 1st one direction for us a vision of using the cooperatives as a national organization and a way build up a national political base. from the cooperative that. i welled up with. remember. at the palace i said i'm learning. how to tie one and. there are any helmet that's america in our back that interactive that's in russia where ballots and the radical tell how at

4:22 am
a fast track to unification supporters welcome the idea some domestic opponents of the more powerful neighborhood viewed the prospect with less enthusiasm the saudi role. yemen has always been complex has always been complicated the saudi is did not like. india and 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 him meet and know.
4:23 am
that about me much stronger. and what any of the many other we mature and that many are really male was good enough so if 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 of hamdi flew to saudi arabia his aim to reassure the saudis that his desire was to forge a new relationship one that looked toward shared and prosperous future according to president al homsi spokesman to accompany the leader the visit ended prematurely. never has involved at the military. who should never have.

expecting to bid a humvee farewell given that the president was due to fly to aden for all important talks with his southern counterpart the next day as minutes turn to hours hyundai's bodyguards became increasingly concerned and yeah i did i hope i don't buy that they'd. let me babble how. hot out the law. fogel cover had what i. now know would overwhelm at least well hope the kind of. jealousy of have thought my live a good salary. less as a. program than i have. come to my life. so that is that was. what the. negative. notes. i leave it to yeah well. i'm glad you got

the. missile and i'm not gad have a number of bombs have a laugh at. the president's bodyguards were left wondering how i could have been assassinated while in the company of his most trusted political allies what should have been a lunch celebration had become a crime scene. so what happened that afternoon and who may have been responsible most of those present on that day have since died indeed a number would themselves be murdered later there are clues however to be found in the archives of western embassies who closely followed events in yemen in 19771 american account attributed to all crush me who would before the day's end assume the presidency claimed that unidentified gunman had shot al hindi while in his car another more euro decant said that al hamdi and his brother had rented
4:41 am
a small house or hide 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. we had for their only can feel know that they had what happened in in get can where when. a weapon was a ladder or the main melican break. and one of the french connection the 2 women who were said to have been with the brothers not only did they exist but they were indeed murdered in yemen around the same time as president are harmed their names were very only twat and françoise screen. verily twa had
4:42 am
a glamorous lifestyle enjoying the company of film directors in france as glitzy riviera to some she was a high class call go to others she was a spy. to live in a moment of i don't get. dakar now and if she can't or point is i mean the police could you know if you don't get past it probably paled of only chua actually most of what have you to mocked him as you put it back if you don't if you're only caught in the trenches cut it get past your you man. a few need to look at is not a locker never you know it was unlikely a man. one of my very good yemeni friends my humblest shammy was a diplomat. and he was. an a friend of his in the embassy in paris her fanny was the person
4:43 am
who recruited. these 2 prostitutes and had them and sent them to yemen and i remember her as sami he also cried when he told me that story he was a true believer in the brain and how in the end the role that al handy. was going to hopefully play in the development of yemen so 100 family just thought terrible that he had been the person who had recruited these 2 prostitutes prostitutes who were then killed and thrown into a room with the brothers in order to bring shame in. this respect the respect upon the now how many brothers their family. is the most sort of milk could be in this into fam.
4:44 am
question. but you are more. the does a fair yemeni tell a book. you don't agree you know them or. miss you are the last measure get their ms affair contrail a key review on the. line although i was told this a don't go on is a near the middle of the key marco patience the more calm or fair to. say the farmer. men the party. or. because it doesn't give it the shots they decide to miss you are more easily to party off that you ever did to plan their lines. on this character's son now
4:45 am
sweet. is it possible to ever find a twat happen. i was a humvee murder and who benefited from his assassination there are several firies no hard facts are in short supply. for the less. valuable us or less a lover co we'll that feeling. alive the loss of that will do what is. good little the early. it will be a no actually i mean read the choice by should i doubt that assad had a one of them that had ability and got let me. back and i got to know how to get away from the question. also on the list of suspects for tribal enemies opposed to our humvees a rouge in their power others suspected the hand of saudi arabia so i have never asked him how the us got it so who are they and then thought it had been thought of
4:46 am
them who had law and i have asked that it come of a flower she did know so while i was a catholic i was like yeah that's what i do best i like best and yet i sat and i ask that he get me that a lot of you are thinking of a mile and well i think that the saudis decided to get rid of the simply because they saw him as getting too strong and. undercutting their influence in yemen. able to counter their traditional way of dealing with tribes. 2 weeks after the murder saudi arabia issued an official statement categorically denying any involvement in the hyundai's assassination. the denial came after claims within yemen including by a number of foreign diplomats that individual saudis may have been involved in the assassination albeit in directly. their suspicion was that those who benefited
4:47 am
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 assassinate this handsome hubby was. it was a saudi run operation using yemenis who were in their pay more. people that don't would do their back and among those was crushed me and certainly other dollars sallah of the some of the current thai is. no one was ever charged with the murder neither me nor son ever had met at any point in the death of a humvee. hashmi died just
4:48 am
a few months off towards us for ali abdullah saleh he became president in 1978 and would later point the finger of blame at saudi arabia. which it will not own and eat and i will not out of that unless you. damage i have. myself i like. and want to laugh at it. now you can see it but of heidi and you only at the at least don't let me do my talk on the lead the deputy how that if he had the deck and he asked me why. the al jazeera arabic examination of the death of a bit of a mile from t.v. has uncovered numerous documents and heard testimony from many who were in yemen in the 1970 s. these include the deputy ambassador at the u.s. mission in yemen who arrived in sanaa 2 months after the murder of a humvee he diplomatic cables from the time have been released others remain under
4:49 am
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 saudi. it was in response to news agency reports in the region and to a bulletin on radio moscow the statement added that saudi arabia would stand by
4:50 am
those they refer to as their brothers in yemen recognizing the close ties between al homsi 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. east peace rally in mona you know. who know if she has a. she she let me get collagen emotional and then i won't let her look at the how difficult work and library walk away and if you look at who has had
4:51 am
