DUBAI - Dubai police have foiled a bid to smuggle 16,000 guns from Turkey to Yemen's northern province of Saada, a

Six Arabs residing in the UAE have been arrested

Police says shipment was heading from Turkey to Saada, stronghold of Shiite rebel movement.

 

 

Shiite rebels' stronghold, police chief Dahi Khalfan said Thursday.

"Dubai police has foiled a major attempt to smuggle arms from Turkey to Yemen," said Khalfan, adding that "the shipment constitutes 16,000 guns" and "six Arabs residing in the United Arab Emirates have been arrested".

"The shipment was heading to Saada, we can't say to which side, but definitely not to the government," Khalfan told reporters.

The Zaidi Shiite rebel movement from 2004 fought six wars with President Ali Abdullah Saleh's government before signing a truce in February 2010.

However, the Huthi rebels and the government have repeatedly exchanged accusations of violating a February ceasefire which ended a six-month round of bloody conflict between the two sides.

Yemen's embattled president warned on Tuesday that a coup attempt could spark civil war, as pressure mounted for him to step down and two soldiers were reported killed in a clash between rival units.

With tanks deployed on the streets of the capital, Saleh warned in an address to his top brass: "Any attempt to reach power via a coup will lead to a civil war in the country."

Commenting on the current instability, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said it could distract attention from Yemen's fight against Al-Qaeda.

Saleh has since faced mass protests across Yemen since January calling for his ouster. He also said at the meeting broadcast on state television that "any division in the armed forces will have a negative impact on the whole country."
