Yemen's ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh, slain this week by, was buried on Saturday at his home village outside Sana’a, a relative close to the family said.
A Houthi official speaking on condition of anonymity confirmed the burial had taken place. It was held under strictly controlled conditions.
Saleh's son Madin and a nephew were allowed out of detention to attend the burial.
Parliament speaker Yahya Ali Al-Rai — who belongs to the former president's embattled General People's Congress Party — and Houthi commander Ali Abu al-Hakim also attended.
The Saleh relative said no more than 20 people attended the burial.
Just one week ago, the strongman ruptured three-year alliance with the Houthi Ansarullah movement, offering to "turn the page" with foe Saudi Arabia.
The move proved fatal for the dictator.
