Three soldiers killed in Yemen ‘Al Qaida’ bomb attack

Sana’a: A suspected Al Qaida bomb attack killed three Yemeni soldiers and wounded five others on Friday, a military source said, the second attack in days on security forces in Yemen’s southeastern Hadramout province.

An explosive device planted in the town of Seyun was detonated remotely as a vehicle carrying army personnel passed by, the source said.

Three soldiers were killed on Wednesday in a similar bombing west of Seyun.

Security forces are often the target of deadly attacks, which are usually blamed on Al Qaida militants, who are active in the violence-wracked country.

Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula is considered by Washington as the militant network’s most dangerous affiliate.
