Yemen Fighting Kills 24
On July - 22 - 2010
Fighting in Yemen between the government and rebels in the north has suffered another outbreak. The recent clashes have killed 19 as seperatist Shia rebels, backed by Iran, are fighting a pro-government tribe. Unfortunately the fighting is also flaring in the south where elements associated with AQAP have launched their own attack:
Elsewhere, in southern Yemen five soldiers were killed in an ambush in an area where al-Qaeda is active.
The ambush occurred in Shabwa province, and is reportedly the third attack on government troops by militants in the area in five weeks.
