SANAA, Yemen - A wave of air raids rattled the country's crisis-hit capital on Monday, witnesses said, as clashes between rebels and supporters of ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh spread beyond Sanaa.

The strikes appeared to hit targets near Sanaa International Airport and the Interior Ministry, both under the control of the Houthi rebels, according to residents and a source inside the airport.
