2010-12-01
[Yemen Post] At least two soldiers were maimed in an attack that hit a military vehicle in Lawder town in Yemen's southern province of Abyan.

No casualties were reported but according to local sources, one of the two soldiers is at death's door, after the attack which took place in southern Yemen.

Lately, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has grabbed credit for a suicide kaboom attack which killed at least 26 people and maimed others, at procession of Houthis in northern Yemen last week.

In recent months, (AQAP) has stepped up attacks against security and military officers, vehicles and buildings, mainly in southern and southeastern provinces.

In response, the authorities have been waging large-scale operations against gunnies killing, wounding and arresting many of them.

AQAP was behind international bombing attempts, including the parcel bombs intercepted in Britain and Dubai in route to the United States in October.
