Yemen rebel leader killed in Saudi strike

In a televised address, the Houthi movement has confirmed the "matyrdom" of its top civilian leader - Saleh al-Samad

Samad was killed in an air raid on the west coast of Yemen on Thursday. Reports say it was a targetted strike by the Saudi led coalition

A 20 million dollar reward had been offered for the 39 year old's capture. Saudi Arabia has been waging a three year war to oust the Houthi rebels - but they still control most of north Yemen
