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.
