[Bangla Daily Star] A police official said a Briton was killed in a car booming yesterday in the main southern Yemeni city of Aden, in an attack that an intelligence officer said carried the "fingerprints of al-Qaeda." The Briton, who was the head of a shipping company, was killed by a bomb in his car in the Moalla area near a hotel where his company has an office, the police official said. The police officer did not comment on the motive of the attack but an intelligence officer told AFP: "The operation carries the fingerprints of Al-Qaeda." Police did not let journalists approach the site of the blast. Witness Abdullah al-Sharafi told AFP: "I heard the kaboom, I hurried there and I found the car in pieces and a charred body." |
