Sana'a: Al Al Qaida-linked group has claimed responsibility for an attack on a police station that killed two people and injured 18 others in Yemen's Hadramout province.
The attack on Friday was in retaliation for the killing of Al Qaida militants in Yemen, the Yemen Soldiers Brigades said in a statement on Islamist website.
In Friday's attack, a car tried to enter the police complex but exploded after it was stopped at the gate, killing the attacker and a police guard.
Yemen is the ancestral home of wanted Al Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden.
