Report: Files about US intelligence operations taken by Yemen rebels

WASHINGTON- Yemeni intelligence files containing information about US-supported counterterrorism operations and the names of informants have been looted by Iranian-allied Houthi rebels, the Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday.
The newspaper, citing US officials, said the information was taken when the Houthi fighters seized the office of Yemen's National Security Bureau, which had worked with the CIA and other intelligence agencies.
It added that intelligence officials believed additional files were given to Iranian advisers by Yemeni officials supporting the rebels.
The paper said there was no sign, however, that the Houthi militias had gained direct control of US intelligence files.
The report did not say when the files were seized.
