Yemen's Houthis, Aden government agree on the release of Mohammed Qahtan

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis will release Mohammed Qahtan, a member of the Islah party, under a deal reached with the Saudi-backed government in Aden, Houthi chief negotiator Mohammed Abdulsalam told Reuters on Wednesday.

Islah, a Sunni group linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, is a longstanding foe of the mainly Shi'ite Houthis.
