Yemeni militias hold suspects

ADEN: Yemeni army-linked militiamen captured three al Qaeda suspects allegedly involved in a bid to assassinate their commander, a member of the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) told AFP on Sunday. “We stormed a house in Jaar where al Qaeda terrorists involved in the attack on our leader Abdel Latif Sayed were hiding,” said the source, adding that three suspects were captured. Sayed, the commander for reserve forces fighting al Qaeda alongside the Yemeni army, was injured on Saturday when a suicide bomber blew himself up in front of his car in the main southern city of Aden. It was the fifth assassination attempt on Sayed. afp
