Saudi Arabia ends bombing campaign against Yemeni rebels
A Saudi-led coalition has ended its bombing campaign against Yemen's Houthi rebels, according to a statement read Tuesday on the state-owned Arabiya TV.
Dubbed "Storm of Resolve," the month-long bombing campaign began as Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who had already fled the capital of Sanaa to a redoubt in Aden, fled the country entirely. Though the campaign was ostensibly concerned with aiding the embattled government, it was widely seen as an attempt to head off a perceived threat from Iran, which supports the rebels.
