Qaida Suspects Gun Down Yemen Intelligence Officer
[An Nahar] Suspected al-Qaeda gunnies rubbed out a Yemeni intelligence officer on Friday in the southeastern city of Hadramawt, a security source told Agence La Belle France Presse, in the second shooting in as many days. "Two men on a cycle of violence shot up intelligence officer Omar Mahfudh, killing him on the spot as he emerged from al-Qatn mosque," the source said, adding al-Qaeda was behind the shooting.On Thursday night retired army colonel Abdel Magid Abdullah, 70, was killed in similar circumstances by gunnies who fled on a cycle of violence in Huta, capital of the southern province of Lahj. The shootings are the latest in a wave of almost daily attacks blamed on al-Qaeda in recent weeks against army and intelligence officers in southern Yemen. Posted by: Fred 2013-09-07 |
