Zitat:Yemen rebels urge Saudi ceasefire
A commander of the rebels fighting the government in Yemen has called on Saudi Arabia to end its attacks and stressed that his group has no foreign backing.
Abdul Malik al-Houthi told al-Jazeera TV the offensive triggered by a rebel cross-border raid last week was "not in the interest of the two countries".
He also rejected accusations of Iranian help, saying the Houthis had "no links with any foreign political agenda".
Riyadh has said it will hit the rebels until they pull back from its border.
"We have achieved what the supreme commander of the armed forces has ordered us to do, and that's the clearance of every inch of the kingdom," Saudi Deputy Defence Minister Prince Khaled Bin Sultan told troops on Monday.
"Now there is no-one of the Houthis inside the Saudi side of the borders and whoever comes close to it, will be killed."
