Three people were killed by a fellow tribesman in southern Yemen following a row over a plot of land, witnesses said on Monday. A tribesman on Sunday shot the three victims, killing one on the spot, in Abyan province, 470 kilometers south of Sanaa. Bloody clashes between tribes, or between security forces and armed groups, are common in Yemen, a country with a tribal structure where the number of firearms held by civilians is officially estimated at more than 60 million, an average of more than three per inhabitant. Three people were also killed and four others injured Friday in a clash between armed men from the Beni Ali tribe in Mahwit province, 100 kilometers north of Sanaa, according to tribal sources in the region.
