Military sources announced that a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated military commander within the Yemeni government defected to the Iran-backed Houthi coupist militia in Sanaa.
The same sources said that the commander of the artillery in the 156th Brigade in Al-Jawf province, Colonel Maqbool Ali Ghanem Qahtan has joined the Houthi movement along with three of his companions.
The Houthi for their part, welcomed the defection of Colonel Qahtan and posted his picture in Sanaa with his companions carrying their AK-47 rifles.
It's worth mentioning that is not the first defection of Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated military commanders to the pro-Iran side.
