Bahrain: Yemen's ambassador to Kuwait Khalid Rajeh has reiterated charges that Kuwaiti religious groups were supporting the Al Houthi rebels in Yemen.
"The Kuwaiti groups have been supporting the rebels financially and through the media. However, the Kuwaiti political entity has nothing to do with this support," the ambassador was quoted as saying by Al Watan daily.
Al Rajeh said that groups and individuals in Iranian religious schools have also been extending support to the Houthis.
The Yemeni ambassador's statement came days after his foreign minister Abu Baker Al Kerbi said that the Zaydi rebels, also known as Houthis, were getting support from Kuwaiti, Saudi and Bahraini quarters, without naming them.
Following the accusations, Kuwaiti MP Mohammad Hayef Al Mutairi, a Salafi, called for the identification of the supporters and for taking action against them, arguing that "security in the Gulf states could never be compromised."
