Three kiddies die in Yemen as bomb goes off outside courthouse
 [Al Ahram] Three children died on Thursday in an kaboom in front of a courthouse in a remote province of Yemen, where al Qaeda Death Eaters are challenging central government authority, a security source said.A family was walking past the building in al-Qatn in the Hadramout ...the formerly independent Qu'aiti state and sultanate, annexed by Communist South Yemen in 1968, encompassing a region along the Gulf of Aden, extending eastwards to the borders of the Dhofar region of Oman. The people are called Hadhramis and speak Hadhrami Arabic. The city Tarimis estimated to contain the highest concentration of descendants of the Prophet Muhammad (PTUI) anywhere in the world, approximately seven in every square yard... province of east Yemen, when one of them stepped on the bomb. The three who died were aged from 10 to 16 years. It was not clear when the bomb had been planted. The Arabian Peninsula state, next to top oil exporter Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in their national face... and along vital world shipping lanes, is trying to restore stability amid fears that Islamist Death Eaters will entrench themselves following an uprising that forced former ruler President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... to step down in February.
