SANAA (Debriefer)--The Ansar Allah group, known as the Houthis, on Friday buried youth and sports minister in its government Hassan Zaid who was assassinated on Tuesday in Yemen's capital Sanaa.
A solemn funeral attended by officials and hundreds of people was held for him.
Zaid was shot dead by gunmen on a motorbike while driving with his daughter in Haddah in downtown Sanaa. His daughter was seriously wounded but survived the attack. She is recovering.
The incident has drawn wide condemnation across Yemen.
On Wednesday, the Houthi interior ministry said one of the attackers was arrested and the other killed in an exchange of fire with the police.
Houthi officials have blamed a Saudi-led coalition fighting in the country since March 2015 for the assassination.
