Yemen must punish Iran diplomat killers

A senior Iranian official says the Yemeni government is responsible for the identification and punishment of those behind the recent assassination of an Iranian diplomat in the Arab country.

According to Press TV, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said on Monday “The Yemeni government is responsible for ensuring the safety of Iranian nationals and diplomats, and it is necessary that Yemen launches investigation into Abolqasem Asadi’s assassination as soon as possible.”
He also warned countries supporting Takfiri militants that they are playing with fire.
On Saturday, the commercial attaché of the Iranian Embassy in Sana’a, Abolqasem Asadi, was gunned down by members of a terrorist group outside the Iranian ambassador’s residence in the Yemeni capital.
