| 2013-09-24 |
| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A Yemeni air force officer was rubbed out on Monday by an unidentified gunman in the capital Sanaa, medics and a security official said, in the latest in a series of liquidations of security and military officers. The security official said one of two men riding a cycle of violence shot up Colonel Abdul Wahab Azzam as he was driving a car. He said without elaborating that the attack, in which the officer was shot as his car slowed at an intersection, bore the hallmarks of al-Qaeda. Dozens of Yemeni security and military officers have been assassinated in the past two years, many by bombs planted in their cars or in drive-by shootings, often blamed on al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula or affiliated groups. |
