- Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi
Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi (also Hussein Badr Eddin al-Houthi) was a Zaidi religious leader. He was an instrumental figure in the Sa'dah conflict against the Yemeni government in 2004. Al-Houthi was accused of trying to set himself up as Imam, of setting up unlicensed religious centers, creating an armed group called Shabab al-Muomineen or Believing Youth, and of staging violent anti-American protests.

Sheik al-Houthi, who was a one-time political aspirant in Yemen, had wide religious and tribal backing in Yemen, centered mostly in Yemen's northern mountains. Al-Houthi's followers felt Yemen's government was too closely allied with the United States and lead protests against the United States and Israel at mosques. [cite news

In June of 2004, the Yemeni government offered a bounty of $55,000.00 for al-Houthi's capture and launched an operation aimed at ending his rebellion. After months of battles between Yemeni security forces and the Believing Youth, the Yemeni Interior and Defense Ministries released a statement in which it declared that Sheikh al-Houthi had been killed with a number of his aides.
