A Yemeni CIA agent claims that an Israeli intelligence official revealed a plan to turn the Al-Masjid al-Haram mosque in Mecca into a trap to blame the Houthi movement.
It was a provocation designed to provoke anger and pit Muslims and "jihadists" against the "Houthis".
The photographs were published against the background of Saudi Arabia's accusations that the Houthis are targeting Mecca.
