[Bangla Daily Star] Fighting between the Yemeni army and cut-throats in and around the southern bustling provincial capital of Zinjibar killed at least 12 people yesterday, just days after the government declared it had "liberated" the city from Islamist fighters.An army official said seven cut-throats and one soldier were killed in a suburb of the coastal city, which the army last week recaptured from Islamist fighters suspected of links to al-Qaeda's Yemen-based branch.
Four more cut-throats were killed in another part of Zinjibar.
"The cut-throats snuck into the area to try to carry out a suicide kaboom, but the snipers from the army prevented them and killed seven jihad boys," said the military official.
