RIYADH: Yemeni rebels said yesterday they have captured an unspecified number of Saudi soldiers, after Riyadh said it would press on with its offensive until it had cleared them from its territory. "We will carry out interviews with them (for the media) ... they will be treated with respect," a rebel spokesman told Al Jazeera television by telephone and reiterated his group's position that Saudi forces had crossed the border into Yemen. Riyadh said it would continue its offensive against the rebels until it had cleared them from its territory after gunmen infiltrated into the kingdom and attacked border guards.It said the strikes were "focused on infiltrators in Jabal Dukhan and other targets within the range of operations within Saudi territory".
