Few hours after the Yemeni security authorities arrested two
al-Qaeda operatives in a check point in Lahj province, al-Qaeda insurgents
attacked the checkpoint and killed two soldiers and wounded three others.
Suspected al-Qaeda militants ambushed a Yemeni army post in
the southern province of Lahj before dawn Wednesday, killing two soldiers and wounding
three, a security source said.
The attack occurred early Wednesday in the area of Hableen
when four gunmen opened fire on an army checkpoint in eastern Lahj province, said
the security source.
The death toll is expected to rise because some of those
injured were in critical condition.
On Tuesday security forces at al-Habilain check point
arrested two al-Qaeda terrorists. The arrested are called Ammar al-Maysari and
Ali al-Jahafi.
After arresting the two suspects the security forces stormed
their home in Rimi neighborhood in Aden where the forces found huge number of
explosives, weapons and valuable documents about al-Qaeda plans for attacking
vital government premises and officials in Aden.
On Tuesday, security forces stormed a house in Aden's
Mansoura neighborhood to arrest some wanted terrorists, but the armed group
started shooting at the security troops, sparking a short gun battle that left
four al-Qaeda suspects killed at the scene.
The security authorities also announced on Tuesday of
arresting three key al-Qaeda operatives in Aden.
Lahj is located 337 km southwest of the capital city Sanaa,
and 30 km east of Aden, Yemen’s international seaport.
