The Gommittee comprising of Lt. General Ghalib Al-Qamish, Head of Political Security, and Chairman of the Committee, Sheikh Mabkhout Al-Amri, Sheikh Abdul-Salam Rabiah, Sheikh Saba Abu Luhoum and Sheikh Abdul-Khaliq Shuwait, have all been wounded as a result of an artillery shell that hit thier room in Sheikh Sadiq Al-Ahmar's mansion in Al-Hasaba Area of Sana'a City. The committee has been trying for two days to bring an end to the skirmishes in Northern Sana'a between the Government's forces and the Sheikh's guards. As of late the Government buidlings under the tribal control or threatened by takeover by Hashid warriors include the strategic television station along the Amran Road, the Saba News Agency, the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the premisis of the Permanent Committee of the General People's Congress, and the Ministry of Interior. All these are around the compound of the Paramount Sheikh of the Hashid Tribal Confederation. That must say a lot about the regular official guard detail of these premisis.
