Yemen offers reward to trace Belgians' killers
 Yemen on Saturday offered a 75,000-dollar reward for information leading to the capture of the gumen who shot dead two Belgian tourists in the impoverished country. "The interior ministry has earmarked 15 million riyals (75,000 dollars) as a reward to whoever gives information or helps in arresting the terrorists involved in the terrorist attack," the defence ministry said on its website.Two Belgian women tourists were among four people killed, and four more Belgians wounded when suspected Al-Qaeda gunmen opened fire on their bus in the eastern province of Hadramut's Do'an Valley on Friday. The attackers hit the vehicle carrying the group, killing the driver, a Yemeni guide and the two women -- identified as 65-year-old Claudine Van Caillie and Katrine Glorie, 54, before the gunmen fled the scene in a car. Eleven of the tourists, who are from the Flanders region, flew into Brussels on Saturday while a twelfth, Patrick Coucke, 65, who was shot in the stomach, is expected to return on Sunday.
