Scores of al-Qaeda fighters killed in Yemen
3 April 2012
“Yemen s armed forces are claiming to have killed 43 suspected members of al-Qaeda in two
days of air raids and shelling on their hideouts in the country s south.
The military had stepped up attacks against al-Qaeda in the mountainous area of al-Rahha in
the province of Lahij, a strategically important region that links the south with Yemen s
northern cities.
Military officials told the AP news agency that the government forces were trying to reclaim
key cities in Aden and Abyan provinces in the south that have been overrun by al-Qaeda.
