| [Al Ahram] Suspected Al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons killed five Yemeni soldiers in an attack Saturday on a checkpoint southeast of Sanaa, an official said, while two assailants were reportedly killed. The attack targeted an army checkpoint in the district of Rada, where the interior ministry said late Friday it mounted security measures following intelligence about possible attacks by Al-Qaeda krazed killers. Five soldiers were killed and several others were maimed in the attack, the local government official told AFP. A shootout was still ongoing on Saturday afternoon, and some gunnies were also killed, he added. The Sep.net news website, which is linked to the Yemeni defence ministry, said two gunnies perished in the exchange of gunfire. |
