DOE employee arrested by FBI for allegedly trying to support Houthis in Yemen
A Department of Energy electrical engineer has been arrested on charges of providing support to the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets lead on the arrest of a federal energy employee and frame it around alleged support for the Houthis. CBS News identifies the person as a Department of Energy electrical engineer and says the support was for Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, while Newsweek alone names Ashton Hamed Ellaboudy and notes that he is due in court on Friday.
