| One Dead, Four Wounded in Marib Patrol Attack | |
| 2011-01-30 | |
[Yemen Post] One soldier was killed and four others injured after armed people attacked a security patrol in Yemen's northeastern Marib province on Saturday.
The gunnies bravely ran away and a hunt was launched for them, the sources said. A local official, however, was quoted as saying that the attack, which came six days after the murder of Criminal Evidence Director in Marib by unknown gunnies, bore the hallmarks of AQAP as volatile deadly attacks by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula are being reported in various places in the country. In recent years, soldiers and coppers have become easy targets by unknown gunnies with scores killed and injured in attacks on patrols, convoys, security buildings and army posts, mostly in southern and southeastern regions. In most cases AQAP cut-throats emerge to claim responsibility for deadly attacks. In the meantime, the army is continuing a massive hunt for terrorist suspects across the republic as AQAP has recently drawn the world's attention to the country through planning plots inside and outside the country. | |
