Parliament approved on Sunday to summon Deputy Prime Minister for Defense and Security Affairs, Minister for Local Administration, Dr Rashad Al-Alimi after WikiLeaks said he lied to Parliament about airstrikes in Yemen.

In its latest revelations, the WikiLeaks Organization said Al-Alimi lied to Parliament when he said the U.S. airstrikes against suspected AQAP hideouts and positions, some of which killed innocents in the south, were carried out by the Yemeni forces.

The organization said Saleh covered up the U.S. military role in his country quoting him as saying: " We'll continue saying the bombs are ours, not yours [the U.S.].

It said Saleh's comment prompted Al-Alimi "to joke that he had just 'lied' by telling Parliament" that the U.S.-made bombs were used in attacks by Yemeni forces.
