WASHINGTON—An American humanitarian worker and a U.S. businessman held captive by Iranian-backed terrorists in Yemen were released on Wednesday in the Middle Eastern country’s capital, President Donald Trump’s national security adviser said. He said another American detained in Yemen had died in captivity.
The two Americans released by the Houthis and the remains of Bilal Fateen, a U.S. citizen who died in custody, were exchanged for 200 individuals loyal to the Iranian-backed terrorists fighting in Yemen against proxies supported by Saudi Arabia, according to The Wall Street Journal, which was first to report the news.
