.Missing Saudi soldier returns with intel haul
[Al Arabiya Latest] One of the Saudi soldiers reported missing in Yemen returned to the kingdom on Monday with important maps and other military documents.
The Saudi forces said they have also picked up communications in Farsi among the rebels.
The kingdom said on Sunday it had regained control of territory seized by the rebels.
The world's top oil exporter has become increasingly anxious about instability in Yemen, which, as well as the Shiite insurgency in the north, faces separatist sentiment in the south and a growing threat from resurgent al-Qaeda fighters.
In the past few weeks Houthi rebels have accused Saudi Arabia of allowing Yemeni forces to use its territory as a base to launch attacks against them, but the kingdom has denied the allegation.
The rebels, referred to as Houthis after the clan of their leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi, first took up arms against President Ali Abdullah Saleh's government in 2004, citing political, economic and religious marginalization by the Western-backed administration.
The conflict intensified in August when Yemen's army launched Operation Scorched Earth to crush the rebels.
Aid groups, which have been given limited access to the northern provinces, say up to 150,000 people have fled their homes since 2004.
