INSURGENCY FACES MORE LOSSES AS 59 MORE KILLED

SAADA, Oct. 12 (Saba) - 59 Houthi insurgents have been killed
including leaders as the army has started expanding 'land
operations' against the rebels in several Saada areas, a security
source said.

The Houthis suffered big losses as many others were hurt and
equipment and positions destroyed, the source said.

On the other hand, the rebels abducted 7 educators in Saada and took
them to an unidentified location.

Hundreds of the insurgents, who have been fighting the army in Saada
and Amran since 2004, were killed, hurt and arrested this year as
fresh confrontations between the two sides erupted in August.

The final week of September and first week of this month were the
deadliest for the rebels when more than 600 of them were killed and
many others wounded and arrested. Others surrendered to the troops.
