Tribal group whacks terrorists in south Yemen
2011-07-24
In the south, tribal forces working with the Yemeni Army halted on Friday a convoy of terrorists militants heading to the southern town of Zinjibar where government troops are fighting to dislodge militants, a tribal source said.

One terrorist militant was killed and around 10 arrested, the source said, when the tribesmen intercepted the convoy at Moudiya in Abyan province on Yemen's southern coast.

The source said tribes had secured the road from Shabwa province to Shaqra in Abyan, a main highway leading to Zinjibar. A local official in Zinjibar, the capital of Abyan, said clashes continued there between the army and terrorists militants. The army had retaken control of a sports stadium outside the city, he said.
