Houthi leader says no one, including president, is above any measures


SANAA (Reuters) - The leader of Yemen's Houthi said on Tuesday he was determined to implement a power-sharing deal signed last year and warned that no one, including the president, was above what he called "open-ended" moves to see it through.

Abdel-Malek al-Houthi, the Houthi leader, spoke hours after fighters from the Houthi group battled guards at President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi's private home and entered the presidential palace in the capital of Sanaa. Two days of fighting in the capital have raised fears Yemen was descending into chaos.
