Almotamar.net,Saba - Prosecution has issued Tuesday arrest warrants for 55 rebel leaders in the northern province of Saada and other provinces on Tuesday.

The warrants came after the Interior Ministry asked the Attorney General to give orders for issuing them.

Launching an armed rebellion in 2004, the Houthis continue to fight the troops, kill innocents and attack their properties and commit banditry as well as derailing development projects and peace efforts.

Among those sought to be arrested is Badr al-Din Amir al-Din al-Houthi, the spiritual leader of the Houthi rebels.

Lately the army moved severely against the rebels, in an offensive prompted by rebel continuous lawbreaking and sabotaging.
