An official document revealed a plan of assassinations prepared by Ali Saleh, targetting a number of opposition leaders and youth of revolution in the Squares of Freedom and Change in all the Yemeni cities, this comes after he failed to resolve the peaceful sit-in and failed to abort the peaceful revolution.

The sources warned from the plan of wide assassinations, and said that Saleh had assigned the supervision task of the implementation of this plan to the special guards forces, led by his nephew Tareq Mohammed Abdullah Saleh, pointing out that the latter had begun the procedures of necessary preparations for such operations by ordering a set of fake plate numbers for cars that will proceed with the implementation of these tasks and transfer the indivisuals who will perform the assassination operations around different cities

According to memorandum No. (132) dated on 16/04/2011 Tareq Mohammed Abdullah Saleh, commander of the Special Guard, asked the interior Minister Mutahar Rashad al-Masri to grant him 30 plate numbers (Sana'a - Private), 30 plate numbers (secretariat of the capital - Private), 30 plate numbers (Aden - Private), 20 Saudi plate numbers, and 15 Taxi plate numbers across the different cities.

 Legal sources called Saudi authorities to intervene and stop the use of Saudi numbers in the assassination of tghe Yemeni people so that it doesn't be an involvement in this crime especially since their stated position until this moment- according to sources- are designed to serve Saleh and his bloody approach.
