Yemen Crisis: Qaeda kills 13 soldiers in Yemen!


Have you read my Novella, “Mayhem of the Miserables!” available @ http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52075

Agence France-Presse / Aden, May 31, 2011 / Hindustan Times.

11 Yemeni soldiers were killed in two attacks by alleged al-Qaeda fighters on Tuesday, and another two soldiers died of wounds sustained previously, security officials and medics said. Six soldiers were killed and eight wounded in the first attack, which was on the Dofas military checkpoint about a kilometre from Abyan province's capital Zinjibar, a security official and a medic said.

Witnesses said the militants also set fire to 10 military vehicles.

Later in the day, a car bomb blasted a security force convoy carrying reinforcements to Zinjibar, where troops are battling alleged al-Qaeda militants, a second security official said. Medics said that attack killed five soldiers and wounded 23 others.

The explosion targeted the passing convoy, which was carrying reinforcements from Aden, near Dofas -- the same checkpoint that was attacked earlier in the day, the official said.

President Saleh should go but Yemen shouldn't fall into the hands of Al Qaida!  It would be like Yemenis falling from pan into the fire!!
