“Yemeni Shiite rebels pledged on Tuesday not to attack neighbouring Saudi Arabia, a key condition laid down by the Sanaa government to end its nearly-six-month military campaign against them.

‘As long as no one attacks us, we would not target any party,’ the office of rebel leader Abdul Malak al-Huthi said in a statement posted on the rebels’ website.

It said the rebels, known also as Huthis, had already made this position clear last week when they announced a ‘withdrawal from Saudi territory and ending the war.’”
