100 die after truce call

Government forces reported more than 100 rebels killed in fighting yesterday, among them two Shi'ite Muslim leaders, as battles in north Yemen intensified two days after the government urged a ceasefire.

Yemen, an impoverished state of some 23 million people on the tip of the Arabian Peninsula, is battling Al-Qaida militants and secessionist discontent in the south, as well as the rebellion in the mountainous north bordering Saudi Arabia.
