SUPPLIES SEIZED ON WAY FOR REBELS

SAADA, Oct. 07 (Saba) - The police have seized 5 trucks carrying
large quantities of fuel, explosives, drugs and gas cylinders that
were on their way for the Houthi rebels in the north.

A police spokesman said they seized supplies included 350 bags of
gunpowder and drug pills that were hidden under fruits and
vegetables in the trucks.

Meanwhile, the army is continuing fighting the insurgents in Saada
and Amran, killing and arresting rebels, retaking control of areas,
and hunting those still plotting.

The rebels have attacked the people and used them as human shields,
the army says.

The confrontations between the army and the Houthi followers started
in August and were sparked by continuous violence and lawbreaking by
the rebels.
