REBELS SLAY 11-YEAR-OLD IN SAADA

SAADA, Dec.6 (Saba) - Bashar Ahmed al-Rowdy, an 11- year- old child,
has been killed in the Houthi hands in al-Okab region in northern
province of Saada.

The heinous crime came in revenge for al-Rowdy's father's refusal to
the insurgent extremist ideas, a local government source said.

The source affirmed that the killers will not go unpunished as Saada
people have become more and more determined to eradicate the Houthis
from the region.

During the fresh confrontations with the army, the Houthi rebels
attacked the people in Saada and Amran in the far north, killing
women and children.

They also recruited underage fighters against the troops.

During the assault the army launched against them in August this
year, hunderds of Houthis have been killed, wounded and arrested.
Many others surrendered including filed leaders.
