Car Bombs Kills 6 Soldiers in Yemen
KABUL: (Middle East Press) At least six Yemeni soldiers were killed and several others injured in a twin car bombing attack in southeastern Yemen.
The army says the attacks were carried out on Tuesday when bombers rammed their explosive-laden vehicles into military headquarters in Seiyun, the second largest city in Hadramout Province.
Eye witnesses say that gunshots were heard following the blasts at the compound.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far. However, a branch of the al-Qaeda insurgent group in Yemen has previously carried out similar attacks against Yemeni military and civilian targets.
Al-Qaeda-linked violence against Yemeni security forces has been growing since February 2012, when President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi came to power in a one-man election backed by Saudi Arabia and the United States.
