DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia is trying to drive a wedge between its Houthi foes and their main ally, powerful ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh, as part of its military campaign against the Shi'ite group which controls much of Yemen, a Houthi official said on Wednesday.

The Iran-allied Houthi militia has weathered seven days of Saudi-led air strikes and continued to advance on several fronts, with vital support from army units loyal to Saleh.
