Almotamar.net, Saba - An official source at the Supreme Security Committee (SSC) denied on Friday allegations by rebellion elements in Saada over taking some soldiers of the Republican Guards in their custody.

The source said to Saba that "those misled elements have been circulating such false information in order to psychologically compensate for the series of defeats they have been sustaining in their confrontations with the army."

Those elements are hopelessly looking for a slight hope of victory after the great losses incurred on them, especially after some of their followers refused to fight in their lines, the source added.
