  • 9 years ago
Clashes in Yemen continue after Houthi rebels Tuesday took control of the Yemeni presidential palace after brief clashes with the compound’s security guards, forcing all the employees out, just one day after the one of the worst armed confrontations between government forces and insurgents left nine dead and 90 injured. Colonel Saleh al-Jamalani, commander of the security force that guards President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, called the Houthis' attack and seizure of the presidential palace a “coup.” teleSUR
