| [Ynet] Several army tanks and armored vehicles were seized by armed rustics rival to the country's Iranian catspaws, officials said Friday, as rebels in control of the capital have been intensifying security measures on eve of their large ceremony commemorating Prophet Muhammad's birthday. Officials say the seizures came after festivities broke out Thursday night in the eastern city of Marib between rustics and army troops. They say the rustics suspected that the soldiers were heading to join the Iranian catspaws who have been gathering outside of Marib for several weeks. Six soldiers and two rustics were killed in the festivities, officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... because they were not authorized to speak to the press. |
