SANAA, Jan 29 (Reuters) - Yemen's president on Monday warned Islamist Shi'ite militants
who killed six soldiers to surrender their weapons or face a showdown with security forces.

"There is a special force ready to uproot them if they do not disband and put down their
weapons as soon as possible. This operation would not take long," President Ali Abdullah
Saleh said at an army event in the capital, Sanaa.

"You have been forewarned," he added, addressing the rebels.

The six soldiers were killed and 20 wounded when the rebels launched rare attacks on
government forces in the northern province of Saada on Saturday.
