SANAA, May 2 (Reuters) - Yemeni rebel leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said on Friday his followers were not involved in a fatal bomb attack on a mosque in his northern stronghold of Saada.

"We criticise and condemn this regrettable incident," he told Al Jazeera television. "We deny completely any role in this incident. It is not part of our ethics to target any mosque or any worshippers at all." (Writing by Lin Noueihed; Editing by Matthew Jones)
