Eight people including four members of Al Qaeda were killed on Sunday in a clash between Yemeni tribesmen and militants in Maarib province, a tribal source said. The firefight erupted after Al Qaeda fighters ambushed members of Al Rashid Munif tribe, wounding two of them, the source said. Tribesmen returned fire at the Islamists, killing four, and four tribesmen were also killed, the source added. Meanwhile, a Sanaa court jailed an Al Qaeda member three years after convicting him of belonging to an armed group behind attacks in southern Yemen, Saba state news agency said.
