| [Yemen Post] At least four soldiers were killed and eight others were maimed in when the first armored division came under attack on Sunday. Rockets landed at the headquarters of the division near the change square in downtown Yemen's capital Sana'a, but there were no details about the attack. A source inside the division said the rockets landed near the headquarters but we did not have an idea about who fired them and why Ali Muhsen Al-Ahmer, commander of the division and once a close ally of President-for-Life Saleh ... exemplifying the Arab's propensity to combine brutality with incompetence... , defected from the army and announced support to the popular uprising demanding the departure of the regime months ago. |
