CAIRO (Reuters) - A senior leader in Yemen's Houthi militia said a political agreement had almost been reached to end almost a month of conflict involving Saudi-led air strikes against the group.
Abdel Malek al-Ijri, a member of the Iran-allied movement's politburo, expressed "surprise" at an announcement by a mostly Gulf Arab coalition to end its operation on Tuesday, but said the announcement coincided with progress toward an overall deal.
