Qaeda behind Hadramout attack

SANA'A, Nov. 05 (Saba) - A Yemeni top security
official has said that al-Qaeda was behind Tuesday's attack against policemen in the
eastern province
of Hadramout, the state-run 26sep.net reported on Thursday. The attack was not a
traffic accident, rather than a successful assassination killing two police chiefs
and three
of their guards, chief of the Political Security in the province Abdullah
al-Julaiz'a said. Doubtless, al-Qaeda carried out the attack because the
organization is known for
such attacks against security officials and facilities in the country, he confirmed.
The remarks come as the investigation into the attack which took place in the
district
of al-Abr while the policemen were back from a border crossing trip is continuing. A
security cordon has been imposed in the area after the perpetrators ran away towards
Sayoon city on the way to the neighboring province of Shabwa. On Tuesday noon,
gunmen ambushed the two cars carrying police chief in the Hadramout Valley and
Desert Major
General Ali Salim al-Amri and chief of the branch of the Central Organization of the
Political Security Gen. Ahmed BaWazeer and three of their guards. The five were
killed
and their bodies were burned when the cars collided with a truck in the ambush site
after they came under a hail of bullets. FR
