Eight Dead in Attack on Troops in South Yemen
[An Nahar] Five soldiers and three hard boyz were killed Monday during an attack on an army position in southern Yemen in which the assailants also kidnapped four troops, a military source said.
According to the source, the attack was carried out by southern secessionists, but secessionist leaders denied the accusation.
Southern Yemen is also home to a powerful al-Qaeda affiliate suspected of carrying out a string of attacks on security forces.
