Yemeni forces clash with rebels
Yemeni security forces have clashed with rebels in the Southern Abyan province where separatists are campaigning against the rule of Ali Abdullah Saleh, the country's president.
The Yemeni army killed more than 140 Shi'ite rebels during fierce fighting in the rugged mountainous city of Saada in northern Yemen on Sunday, a military official said, after the failure of a truce offered by the government.
