| 10 Hurt as Military Commander Escapes Assassination in Eastern Yemen |
| 2011-08-21 |
| [Yemen Post] Ten people were maimed when a military commander survived an liquidation attempt in Yemen's eastern Hadramout province on Friday. Newsyemen.net quoted local sources as saying that an attacker threw a bomb at the car of Colonel Nasser Al-Marfadi, assistant commander of Military Camp 37 Mica, near a mosque in Al-Qatn district but he was not injured. Other websites quoted security sources as saying that the attack bore the hallmarks of AQAP and was carried by a member of a terrorist sleeper cell in the province. In recent years, Al-Qaeda and separatists have carried out deadly attacks and ambushes against military and security offices, convoys, patrols and commanders and their cars assassinating and injuring many in southern and eastern regions. Meantime, insecurity plagues many parts in the south and the east amid persistent unrest and battles between the army and Al-Qaeda. |
