Two bombers killed in south Yemen
2012-03-13
[Yemen Post] Yemeni Ministry of Interior announced on Sunday that two bombers suspected of being linked to al-Qaeda have been killed in the southern trouble-torn province of Abyan.

The bombers were killed when their cycle of violence, which was packed with explosives, accidently blew off, according to the Ministry website, which cited local security sources.

Yasser Mohammed Salem al-Hawi, 21, and Munif Hadi Haroon al-Hawi,20, intended to launch suicide kabooms on army posts in the province. But unfortunately for them they died before doing so, the source added.

Separately, Ministry of Interior said it had incarcerated 4 Somalis suspected of ties with al-Qaeda in the southern province of Lahj.

The Somali nationals are believed to be linked to the Mohammedan Youth group, al-Qaeda offshoot in the African country that sent at least 300 hundred fighters to help their fellow Yemeni terrorists, the ministry said.

"The Somalis were incarcerated in a road connecting Lahj province to Abyan," said the ministry, adding that the Somalis confessed that they had entered the country illegally.

Investigation with the African suspects is still under way, according to the ministry.

Al-Qaeda has stepped up its attacks on the military posts and personnel in south Yemen, taking an advantage of the current security situation.

Last week, the transnational terror network surprisingly stormed a military post in Abyan, killing at least 200 soldiers, wounding dozens others, and seizing a huge amount of weapons.

In reaction, the Air Force stepped up its Arclight airstrikes in the couple of days ago on the hard boys' whereabouts, leaving at least 50 of them killed.
