SANAA, Aug 24: Followers of an anti-US religious leader ambushed and killed 11 Yemeni soldiers searching for them in a mountainous area of the Arab state, an official said on Tuesday.
He said the troops, one of them a colonel, had been hunting for rebel followers of cleric Hussein al-Houthi in the mountains of Saada province when they were killed in the overnight attack. Yemeni forces launched an operation to capture Houthi in June. -Reuters
