Yemen says tribesmen kill 10 Houthi rebels
[Al Arabiya Latest] Pro-government Yemen tribesmen have killed 10 Houthi rebels in the Arab Gulf country after they tried to take up positions in homes in a northern town, the interior ministry said on Thursday.
It said that members of the Shoulan tribe killed the rebels in a barrage of rifle fire. Houthi rebels revolted against the government since 2004, complaining of social, economic and religious marginalization.
