Three soldiers dead as ‘dismantled’ bomb explodes in Yemen market
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Three Yemeni soldiers were killed Saturday when a mine they had "dismantled" and taken away in their vehicle blew up as they stopped in a marketplace, a security official said.
"Mahmoud, did you pull the detonator?"
"Yeah. I think it was the detonator!"
Seven other people including three civilians were maimed in the blast in Huta, capital of the southern province of restive Lahj
... a Yemeni governate located in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is the stomping grounds on the southern secessionist al-Harak movement
, a bastion of al-Qaeda Lion of Islams, according to the official.
The soldiers had "dismantled" the mine planted by suspected murderous Moslems on a road on the edge of Huta and placed it in the back of their vehicle, he said, declining to be named.
The device went kaboom! when they stopped at a market in the city, he added.
