| 2011-07-23 |
| SANAA: A pro-democracy journalist working for the Yemeni state TV survived on Thursday evening an assassination attempt in the capital, the second opposition figure targeted in less than three days. Yasser Al-Muolimi was seriously injured when unknown attackers opened fire on him. He is currently recuperating in a local hospital following a surgical procedure on his legs. The Yemeni Journalist Syndicate issued a statement condemning the attack and urging security services in the country to quickly investigate the incident and bring the culprits to justice. The syndicate said that the assassination attempt is a dangerous escalation against journalists and a crime targeting activists. |
