RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- Saudi Arabia's assistant defense minister says his forces have taken control of a mountain straddling the border with Yemen and cleared it of Shiite rebels.
Prince Khaled bin Sultan is quoted by the official Saudi Press Agency as saying his troops are still dealing with rebel infiltrators in other spots along the frontier but that his forces have not entered northern Yemen.
Bin Sultan said Sunday after visiting the border that the Saudi side of Dokhan Mountain had been cleared of rebels. Saudi Arabia has for three days bombarded rebels, even as Yemen president has vowed to quash an insurrection pitting his weak central government against rebels in the north.
