Colonel Assassinated in South as Army Shells Northern Areas Killing Woman
2011-06-14
[Yemen Post] An army Colonel was killed on Monday in Yemen's business capital Aden after a bomb exploded in his car, a security source said.

Unidentified gunnies planted the bomb inside the car of Colonel Muti'a Al-Sayani that went kaboom! after noon while he was on his way to the city of Al-Buraika, the source said, adding an investigation was underway.

Separately, a woman was killed and five other civilians injured when festivities between the army and the rustics in Al-Haima Al-Kharjyah on the outskirts of the capital Sana'a resumed earlier today.

The Manar military post shelled the prior day some villages in the district damaging homes and the rustics fought back, local sources said.

Fierce festivities have been taking place in the district and nearby areas such as Nehm, Arhab and others between the elite republican guard and the rustics forcing many families to flee.

In Al-Haima Al-Kharjya, the confrontations erupted after the people prevented the army from establishing a republic guard post in their area.
