Yemen's Shiite rebels take city south of capital
Yemeni officials say the country's Shiite rebels who are in control of the capital have swept a central city south of the capital, after repelling al-Qaeda militants in nearly two-weeks of deadly battles.
     
The officials say that the rebels, known as Houthis, took control of Adeen, 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of Sanaa in Ibb province, which al-Qaida forces had captured over the past two weeks. Earlier last month, al-Qaeda militants stormed the local security headquarters and held it for hours before fleeing to the mountains.
     
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press.
     
The Shiite rebels have been expanding their territorial gains over the past year and are widely suspected of having links to Shiite powerhouse Iran.
