Yemen's Houthi rebels claim ex-president Saleh killed

Reports from Yemen say ex-President Ali Abdullah Saleh has been killed in clashes with the rival Houthi movement.

The claim was made by radio station of Yemen's Houthi-run Interior Ministry. There is no independent confirmation to the claim.

However, former President Saleh's party has denied the reports, saying their leader is still leading forces in heavy fighting in Sanaa.
