11 die in Yemeni army, al Qaeda clashes

Sana’a: At least 11 people, inluding six al Qaeda militants, were killed and 35 injured in clashes between the armed forces and Al Qaeda militants in Yemen’s port city of Aden on Sunday, Xinhua reported on Monday.

“Three soldiers, six al Qaeda militants and two passers-by were killed in shelling in the eastern entrance of Aden on Sunday (and) another 15 soldiers and about 20 al Qaeda elements were wounded,” a military official said, requesting anonymity.

The al Qaeda militants have stationed themselves outside the entrance of Aden about a week ago in an attempt to invade the port city, said another official.

Yemen has been gripped by protests across the Arab state, demanding long-time president Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down.

Prolonged impasse triggered deterioration in security and economic situations. (IANS)
