Suspected Al-Qaeda militants attacked a post office in Yemen's southeastern Hadramawt province, killing a policeman and making off with two million riyals ($10,000), security officials said Wednesday.
The policeman was guarding the post office in the town of Hura when attackers late Tuesday killed him and fled with the cash, the officials said.
Also in Hadramawt, in the city of Qoton, two Al-Qaeda suspects on a motorbike killed a civilian and wounded one of his relatives, officials said, without elaborating on the motive for the attack.
In addition to launching regular attacks on the security forces, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula AQAP has also murdered several people brutally on the pretext of their version of the “Islamic law”.
