COMMITTEE SAYS REBELS BREACHING CEASEFIRE MECHANISM AND TIMETABLE

SANA'A, Feb. 23 (Saba) - The Supreme Security Committee has accused
the Houthi rebels of breaching the ceasefire conditions through not
sticking their implementation mechanism and timetable.

The Houthi rebels are continuing to breach the ceasefire, postponing
reopening roads and eliminating landmines, a source at the committee
said on Monday.

We regret that the rebels have not yet demonstrated full commitment
to the ceasefire including the mechanism and timetable to implement
the terms, the source said.

All that the rebels have done was reopening some roads and
eliminating landmines partly in some areas and they refused to hand
the landmines to the committees supervising the implementation of
the ceasefire.

Also, they are postponing the implementation of to the ceasefire as
whole including the handover of the remaining Saudi soldiers and
Yemeni military and citizen captives as well as Yemeni and Saudi
equipment, the source said.

What the Houthi militants are doing make remind us of their
postponement, games and irresponsible acts during previous
ceasefires, the sources said, adding that such moves by them may
lead to dangerous consequences as it has.

On February, President Ali Abdullah Saleh decided to stop the
military operations against the rebels in Saada after they accepted
the ceasefire conditions.

The rebels have fought the army since 2004, seeking to reinstall
imamate rule. They also received support from Iranian religious
bodies.
