Houthi stressed that the control of the rebels of positions in Saudi Arabia were a necessity in order to face hostility emanating from it and that the goal of the Houthis was not to occupy Saudi lands, considering (he considers) that the continuation of the Saudi operations on the rebels in north Yemen after this initiative gives us legitimacy to open new fronts and to open an open war with the Kingdom.

وحسب التقارير التي أعدتها المصالح الأمنية مباشرة بعد الحادثة، قبل أن تُفجرها وسائل الإعلام الأمريكية، فإن أندرو وارن كان يشتغل جاسوسا في الجزائر تحت غطاء الدبلوماسية، وكان ينوي تجنيد فتيات لتعزيز عمله الإستخباراتي، وجاءت عملية تصوير ضحيتيه في وضع مشين بغرض الإبتزاز لاحقا، غير أن الجزائريتين اللتين قام باغتصابهما، تقدمتا بشكوى فورية ضده إلى الأجهزة الأمنية، وهو ما أربك المسؤول الأمريكي، حيث أقدمت سلطات بلاده على ترحيله على جناح السرعة إلى واشنطن، بمجرد أن كُشف الأمر، أين سافر في ظرف وجيز جدا بطلب من السفير الأمريكي

According to reports which security agencies prepared immediately after the incident, before it was spilled out in the American media, Andrew Warren was working as a spy in Algeria under diplomatic cover, and he intended to recruit women to strengthen his intelligence work, and the photography operation of his two victims came in a disgraceful situation with the intention of blackmail later. Nevertheless, the two Algerian women who he raped came forward with an immediate complaint against him to the security apparatus, and this embarrassed the American official, where the authorities of his country set about deporting him quickly to Washington, merely to conceal the matter, where travelled in a very short period of time with the request of the American ambassador.
