Yemen: Houthi Rebels Tighten Hold on Capital Sana'a 
----------------------------------------------------


 
Shiite Houthi rebels have seized new ground in the Yemeni capital Sana'a
a day after signing a truce with the government. Sunday's deal with the
rebels calls for Yemen to form a new government following weeks of
unrest. According to the Associated Press, 340 people have been killed
in fighting over the past week alone. On Monday, the rebels captured the
home of a top general as well as military bases and tanks.
