Saudi air raids on Yemen rebel camp kill 26

Saudi-led coalition air strikes on a Yemen rebel training camp northwest of the capital killed at least 26 Huthi fighters, security sources said yesterday.

The head of the training camp in Hajjah province, Amar al-Jarab, was among those killed in the strikes, the sources close to the Shia rebels told AFP.

Meanwhile, Yemen's ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh, slain this week by his former rebel allies, was buried on Saturday at his home village outside Sanaa, a relative close to the family said. A Huthi official confirmed the burial had taken place.
