Yemeni forces attack rebel-held building in south
2010-03-12
SANAA - Yemeni forces launched an attack on Thursday to recapture a government building occupied by rebels in the south of the country, setting off a gun battle in which a passer-by was killed, a local official said.

“Large military forces launched a campaign this morning to retake the municipality building (in a southern province). But gunmen from the southern movement confronted them and the two sides exchanged fire,' the official said.

“One person was killed and a gunman was wounded. Clashes are continuing,' he added. He said a large group of armed separatists had been occupying the municipal headquarters in the southern town of Tor al-Baha for months.
