                  Al-Qaida Carries Out Deadly Attack in Yemen

   by VOA News

   Yemeni officials say suspected al-Qaida militants have attacked
   intelligence headquarters in the southern city of Aden, killing at
   least 14 Yemeni soldiers and security personnel.
   Intelligence sources and witnesses say the militants attacked the
   building from two sides Saturday, firing rocket-propelled grenades and
   automatic weapons.  At least seven soldiers were wounded.
   The militants managed to escape.
   Al-Qaida's Yemen-based network, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula,
   remains active in southern Yemen.  Suspected militants have been
   carrying out a series of suicide bombings and assassinations on Yemeni
   officials.
   The network is also suspected of trying to pull off attacks on U.S.
   interests, including a failed plot in 2010 to blow up U.S.-bound cargo
   planes with explosives hidden in printer ink cartridges.
   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
