Yemen says Iran funding rebels
Alan | Nov 16 2009

Yemen has repeated its accusation that Iran is funding Houthi rebel fighters in their war against government forces in the north of the country.

General Yahya Salih, Yemen’s counter-terrorism chief, told Al Jazeera on Sunday that it would be impossible for the group to be able to wage its campaign without foreign support.

“The Houthis cannot fund and fight this war with pomegranates and grapes or drugs,” he said.
