(AKI) - At least eight people were killed in central Yemen on Friday after an armed man opened fire at a village mosque. Twenty others were wounded in the shooting - eight of them critically - in Amran province, located 60 kilometres north of the capital, Sanaa. Sources said the armed man walked into the mosque in the town of Kohal during Friday prayers and began firing indiscriminately on worshippers with an automatic rifle. After the shooting, the gunman was arrested and taken away for questioning, officials said. Yemen has recently witnessed renewed fighting between government troops and Shia rebels in the north of the country. Posted by: Fred 2008-05-31 |
