SAN’A, Yemen (AP) - A Yemeni governor says security forces killed a suspected al-Qaida figure in a raid in a remote mountainous province.
Security officials also say two members of the security forces were killed and four wounded when suspected al-Qaida fighters attacked their patrol Wednesday elsewhere in Shabwa province, east of the capital.
Shabwa’s governor, Ali Ahmadi, says the militant, Abdullah Mizhar, was killed Tuesday night in the raid on a house in the Maysaa region. Ahmadi says Mizhar was the leader of a local group of al-Qaida fighters.
Security officials say four others with Mizhar were arrested, while the rest fled. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk
