Sanaa: Talks with Shiite rebels, who have set up armed protest camps in the Yemeni capital, have "failed" after they rejected a proposed government of technocrats, the president's negotiating team said.

The rebels "rejected all the proposals presented to them," the team's spokesman Abdulmalek al-Mikhlafi said.

"It seems like the Huthis have intentions for a war," he told AFP, referring to the Zaidi Shiite rebels who have fighting government troops in the northern mountains on and off since 2004.
