Arabia
Yemen rebels deny mounting sniper attacks in Saudi
2010-02-02
2 February 2010 SANAA - Yemeni Shi'ite rebels denied on Monday their snipers were operating inside Saudi Arabia and said Saudi war planes were striking targets across the border. Saudi Arabia has accused the insurgents of mounting sniper attacks inside its territory even after the rebels offered a ceasefire last week and pledged to withdraw from the kingdom. Riyadh last week declared victory over the rebels.

"We stress that there was no exchange of fire with the Saudi army, nor is there a presence of snipers from any side," the rebels said in a statement.
"Wudn't us."
"And anyway, they wuz jest imaginin' things."
The rebels said Saudi war planes struck targets on Sunday across the Yemen-Saudi border region that was also being pounded by Yemeni forces. Yemeni soldiers had killed 20 insurgents in the same area on Sunday, state media said at the time.
