SANAA (Reuters) - (This July 12, 2014 story was refiled to Fix typos in paragraphs 3 and 7) Shi'ite Muslim tribesmen handed back an army camp to the Yemeni government on Saturday, a spokesman for the group said, to try to defuse tensions caused by the capture of a provincial capital north of Sanaa this week. The fall of Omran, some 50 kms (31 miles) north of the Yemeni capital, has drawn condemnation from the U.N. Security Council and a threat of military action by President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, who had ordered the army to raise its preparedness level to "carry out any tasks that may be assigned to it". The spokesman, Mohammed Abdul-Salam, said in a statement on the Houthi website that an army force despatched from Sanaa "had arrived to take charge of the 310 division headquarters and oversee the security presence in Omran province". via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
