Murad tribe disclaims responsibility for consequences that could happen in Marib

MARIB, April 8 (YPA) – The Murad tribe, the largest tribe in Marib province, on Tuesday issued the strongest threat to the most prominent military leader of the Islah party, demanding that the latter leave the province.

Tribal sources in the province confirmed that the Murad tribe sheikhs have disclaimed their responsibility for the consequences of what will happen in Marib, due to the presence of leader Mehran al-Qubati in the province.

The sources added that Murad’s sheikhs asked al-Qubati to leave the province, or bear the consequences of not leaving in a direct threat to target him.

The call for the expulsion of al-Qubati and military leaders affiliated with al-Islah came after Islah party exploited the tribe’s members and forced them into confrontations with the army and popular committees.

In early January, several recruits at the al-Qubati-led reception camp were killed and wounded in an air strike believed to be an Emirati, amid the army and committees denying responsibility for the incident.
