Soldier Killed in Suspected Al-Qaeda Attack in Lahj
2011-05-16
[Yemen Post] One soldier was killed and others injured when a masked gunman shot up a security personnel in Yemen's Lahj province. Eyewitnesses said the gunman fired at the personnel while riding a cycle of violence in Zunjbar town.

A security sources said the attack bore the hallmarks of Al-Qaeda which killed in the last few days more than ten soldiers in Marib and Baidha'a provinces.

Taking advantage of the situation amid the persistent unrest for months in most of the Yemeni cities, AQAQ has recently stepped up attacks against security and army targets, mainly in southern and southeastern regions, leaving many dead and injured.

In response, the authorities launched a massive hunt for suspects and clashed with a number of them killing and injuring several.
