Rights group: Houthis, Saudis killed Ethiopian migrantsCAIRO (AP) — A prominent rights group Thursday accused Yemen's Houthi rebels and rival Saudi border guards of killing several dozen Ethiopian migrants in an incident at the border earlier this year. The migrants said they were forced into pickup trucks and driven to the nearby Saudi border. Once the Ethiopian migrants arrived at the Saudi border, they got caught up in clashes between their Houthi escorts and Saudi border guards, the rights group said. Some of the migrants told HRW that Saudi border guards fired at them using mortar shells and rocket launchers. Hundreds of others, including children, may still be stranded in the mountainous border region, the rights group said.
