Yemeni Shiite rebels take over state-run newspaper

Yemen's official news agency says the country's powerful Shiite rebels who control the capital, Sanaa, have stormed the building of the nation's main state newspaper and ousted the chief editor.

 

SABA quotes the Information Ministry as saying al-Thawra's headquarters was overrun Wednesday in order "to manipulate editorial policy."

 

It calls the action a "blatant assault" and a "grave violation of the freedom of the press."
