Yemeni officer shot dead in Hadramaut
(KUNA) -- Unknown gunnies bumped off a Yemeni officer in the southern city of Al-Mukalla, Hadramaut Governorate, Friday evening.
Col. Abdulaziz Mubarak Bu-Abes was killed while shopping in the city, a police source told KUNA.
The assailants, purportedly belonging to the terrorist Al-Qaeda organization, managed to flee the scene, the source said.
This is the third hit-and-run attack against the Yemeni security officers in the restive governorate in October. Early this month Abdulaziz Ba-Shrahil - a local police officer - was killed while Col. Riyadh Al-Khatabi sustained a life-threatening wound in a similar attack a fortnight ago.
