| Six soldiers were injured Saturday when members of an outlawed militant group attacked their convoy in southern Yemen, police said. Five of the soldiers were in serious condition after their six-truck convoy was fired upon with Kalashnikovs and rocket-propelled grenades in the Hatat area in the southern province of Abyan, police said. Police blamed the attack on members of the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army, a group sympathetic to al-Qaeda that has been charged with carrying out anti-government and anti-Western attacks inside Yemen. |
