More Troops Dead In Continuous Battles In South Yemen  
2011-08-30
[Yemen Post] Four troops were killed and a dozen others including a colonel injured when the battles between the army and suspected Al-Qaeda gunnies continued in south Yemen on Sunday, a military source said.

The casualties took place in Doufas district in Abyan's capital Zinjbar, the source said. Lately, Al-Qaeda has stepped up its attacks against forces amid reports the faceless myrmidons were trying to expand to other provinces.

Suicide attacks and ambushes targeted soldiers and rustics of those who joined the forces to fight the faceless myrmidons killing and injuring many of them.

In May, Al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons or Sharia supporters took over several city in Abyan including Zinjbar and declared the province as an Islamic emirate.
