Toe tags for six in Yemen cops-robbers festivities
Four policemen and two armed robbers were killed yesterday in a shootout in the Ar-Rawda suburb of the Yemeni capital, eyewitnesses said. They said four policemen were killed when the armed men opened fire at a police patrol car as it tried to stop the menâs car and another government-owned car they had stolen. Two of the three bandits were then killed by security forces sent to the scene to chase them. A police officer at the scene said the third robber managed to flee and was being pursued by security forces. Police found in the menâs car a bag containing dozens of stolen car license plates, the officer said. âThat indicates that they were part of a car robbery band,â he said.Posted by: Fred 2004-04-11 |
