| 2010-04-22 |
| Yemen warned Shiite rebels on Thursday against violating a truce and taking up arms against the government again, after leaflets were distributed calling for jihad, the interior ministry said. The ministry expressed concern over the leaflets distributed by Zaidi rebels calling for holy war, the ministry website said without giving details. The rebels, also known as Huthis, distributed the leaflets after leaders met in the small town of Bart al-Anan in the northern province of Al-Jawf near to their strongholds in Saada, the ministry said. Security services in Al-Jawf warned the Huthis from "playing with fire" and called on to them to commit to the "six-point truce" that led to the February 12 ceasefire after six months of fighting. The security services also would hold them responsible for the the "results of any such actions aimed at undermining security and stability in the province and obstructing efforts of the committees assigned to achieve peace." |
