1 DEAD AS ANTI-PIRACY FORCES ATTACK YEMENI BOAT

SANA'A, Nov. 04 (Saba) - A Yemeni fishermen has been killed and
three others wounded after their boat was attacked by international
forces combating piracy off Somalia, the Interior ministry said on
Wednesday.

According to the ministry's information center, Nooh Salim Dolv, 23,
was killed by a bullet fired from a boat that belonged to the forces
and which was in Somalia.

The center quoted the crew of the Yemeni boat who have arrived in
Mukalla in southern Yemen that three other fishermen were hurt in
the attack.

An investigation was launched into the incident.

A number of Yemeni fishermen were killed and others inured by
international forces fighting Somali pirates in the Arabian and Red
Seas since the forces were dispatched into the region amid soaring
piracy.

Early this year, many fishermen complained about harassment and
provocation they faced while fishing by the forces.
