Yemen tries rebel supporters with spying for Iran
SANAA, April 12 |
SANAA, April 12 (Reuters) - Yemen put four Shi'ite rebel supporters on trial on Monday on charges of spying for Iran in a move that could strain a slow-going truce to end a northern war that drew in neighbouring oil giant Saudi Arabia last year. Prosecutors were requesting the death penalty for the men, a prosecution source said. The four were accused of handing Iran pictures of security and military installations, according to the complaint. (Reporting by Mohamed Ghobari; Writing by Cynthia Johnston)
