Trojan ox leaves more than 40 dead
At least 30 army soldiers and 14 militants were killed today in Yemen's Abyan province, according to government officials.The military said that fighters of the Ansar al-Sharia group, which is linked to al-Qaida, had launched a series of co-ordinated suicide attacks on army outposts in the area before attacking in force. Equipment had been seized and "dozens" of soldiers kidnapped, local officers reported. The attack came a day after suicide bombers hit a Republican Guard camp in Bayda, 75 miles south of the capital Sanaa. Militants gained entry to the camp by bringing an ox they said was a gift for the camp's commander and then detonated their explosives once inside.
