Shiite rebels in Yemen said yesterday they had pulled out of an occupied airport in the north and were arranging to free their Saudi prisoners, in line with a truce agreed with Sanaa.
"Today, we carried out our withdrawal from the perimeter of the airport of [the city of] Saada, where a plane will land for the first time" since August, rebel spokesman Mohammed Abdel Salam told AFP.
