By Noah Browning DUBAI (Reuters) - A day before they killed Yemen's former president, gunmen from the Iran-aligned Houthi militia group overran one of Ali Abdullah Saleh’s fortified compounds in Sanaa. "This is how the traitor (Saleh) and his family lived during a time of war, siege and cholera," Hamid Rizq, a senior Houthi official, said on his official Twitter account. The Houthi gunmen acted fast and mercilessly to punish the 75-year-old Saleh for having appeared to switch sides in Yemen's three-year civil war - a proxy battle for influence between regional powers Iran and Saudi Arabia.
