Shi'ite Houthi rebels deliver an ultimatum to Yemen's President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi Friday:

Form a new government within 10 days or face "other options", a spokesman tells a gathering of some 2,000 Houthi supporters in the capital Sanaa.

It's not clear what those other options are.

The Houthis captured Sanaa on September 21st, following weeks of anti-government unrest.

Last month, a power-sharing accord was signed, aimed at bringing the Houthis into government.

When a new administration is nominated, they are supposed to withdraw their forces from the city.

But the looming deadline now raises tensions... in a political standoff that has crippled the country.
