Saudi militants among attackers of ministry complex, investigators say
Aden: Yemeni military investigators say 12
militants, mostly Saudi nationals, were responsible for a brazen attack
on the Defence Ministry’s complex in the capital.
The committee led by Yemen’s
Chief of Staff Gen Ahmad Al Ashwal put out a report on Friday that set
the death toll at 56, with another 215 wounded.
It described Thursday’s
attack as a two-stage operation, in which attackers disguised in
military uniform drove a car packed with explosives into the complex,
blew it up, then split into two groups. One swept through a military
hospital while the second group attacked a laboratory. Both killed
everyone they found.
A copy of the report was obtained by The Associated Press. Officials earlier said 11 militants were killed. It was not clear if the 12th attacker was captured or escaped.
