Six Islamic militants killed
At least six Islamic militants were killed and 11 captured when Yemeni troops attacked the group’s mountain hide-out, the government said, ending days of negotiations with the guerrillas who were blamed for wounding seven soldiers last weekend.
The military fired artillery and Katyusha rockets at the hide-out of the Aden-Abyan Islamic Army near the village of Hatat, some 280 miles south of the capital San‘a.
