Civilian killed as gunmen attack airport in Yemen’s Aden
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Suspected turbans attacked the airport in Yemen's government-held second city Aden on Monday sparking a firefight in which at least one civilian was killed, a security source said.Around 20 gunnies stormed the main entrance road to the airport in the city's Khormaksar district, demanding the release of a fellow myrmidon of Western origin who was detained late last month. Airport guards repulsed the attack after a 90-minute shootout, the source said, adding that the civilian was killed by a stray bullet. The gunnies's leader told security forces he was a close relative of the detained jihadist, a Western national of Algerian origin. The detained Westerner was among seven suspected members of the ISIS group whose arrest was announced by the authorities in Aden on May 28. Posted by: Fred 2016-06-07 |
