Desk Report: Six Yemeni soldiers, including two officers, were killed in clashes with al-Qaeda-linked militants near the gunmen-held southern city of Zinjibar overnight, an officer said on Monday.
The officer from the 119th Artillery Brigade said army units “fought fierce battles on Sunday night with Ansar al-Sharia (Supporters of Islamic Sharia law) gunmen connected to al-Qaeda.”
“Six members of the brigade were killed, including Colonel Jamal al-Jaafi, and eight others were wounded,” he told AFP, adding the militants had suffered several casualties. Meanwhile, Tens of thousands took to the streets of the capital on Monday, demanding that the president’s sons leave Yemen as pressure rose for the wounded leader being treated outside the country to step down.
Ahmed Saleh, 42, is a one-time heir apparent to his father, who was badly wounded in an attack earlier this month. A ruling party official had said last week the president would return home soon from medical treatment in Saudi Arabia despite reports that he was heavily burned.
In his absence, pressure has been mounting at home and abroad for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to step aside after nearly 33 years in power.
His son Ahmed Saleh commands the elite Presidential Guard, the country’s best equipped and trained military unit.
