| [Yemen Post] Yemeni army forces heavily shelled Tuesday evening a suspected bad boy hideout north of the Yemeni capital of Sana'a, mistakenly killing two civilians and wounding others, local sources told Yemen Post. "Whoops! Sorry! Our bad!" Units of the Elite Republican Guards bombarded a suspected hideout of snuffies in Arahb area, some 35km north of Sana'a, said a tribal source. The bombardment left at least 2 civilians killed and some others maimed, said the tribal source, adding that the bombardment caused severe damage to some buildings in the area. A security source confirmed to Yemen Post that two civilians were mistakenly killed on Tuesday evening, declining to release any further information. Arahb was the scene of violent festivities between rustics supporting the revolution and army forces, leaving dozens killed, and hundreds maimed. The festivities started between the two sides when rustics, mostly affiliated with the Islamic Islah party, attempted to forcibly stop some military vehicles from leaving their area for fear that it was going to be used in the clampdown against peaceful protesters. Separately, Yemeni President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi appointed today a new security chief for the southern restive province of Lahj. Yesterday, he dismissed a longtime supporter of former President Ail Abdullah Saleh from the Yemeni Economic Corporation. |
