Yemen: Shia Ansarullah fighters take control of strategic town of Rada
Yemen’s Shia Ansarullah fighters have managed to push al-Qaeda militants out of the southwestern strategic town of Rada’.
The Ansarullah fighters, who have the support of allied tribesmen, are now in full control of the strategic town, said Ali Qahum, a top member of the Ansarullah movement, on Tuesday.
The situation is calm in the town and the al-Qaeda terrorists have escaped to the Yakla district near the city of Ma’rib, he added.
The Ansarullah revolutionaries have also expressed readiness to withdraw from Rada’ in case the Yemeni army is able to restore peace and security to the violence-stricken town.
