May 11, 2014

Three "terrorists" were killed today in clashes at a checkpoint near Yemen's presidential palace, two days after a suspected Al-Qaeda attack on the same post killed five guards, the interior ministry said.

A civilian was also killed in the gunfight which erupted at dawn after gunmen attacked the presidential guard checkpoint near Misbahi roundabout, around 500 metres from the palace, a statement said.
