| 2013-11-19 |
| [An Nahar] Gunmen ambushed and killed eight coppers on Monday near a gas terminal in southern Yemen, a security official told Agence La Belle France Presse. The attack took place as the officers were driving to a security checkpoint near the Balhaf terminal, in the southern province of Shabwa, the official said. "Armed men in two cars opened fire on the coppers, killing them on the spot," he said. He was unable to identify the assailants or explain their motives. Earlier Monday, a special forces officer was kidnapped by gunnies northeast of Balhaf, and his body was later found to the west. He had been shot three times. The corpse was found not far from where the eight coppers were killed, another security source said. |
