Yemen ministry - 7 soldiers killed in southern attack


    ADEN (Reuters) - Seven Yemeni soldiers were killed in an attack the Defence Ministry blamed on al Qaeda militants on Sunday, a day after clashes with Islamist fighters in which at least 20 troops were killed.

    In a text message, the ministry's September 26 news portal said the "treacherous terrorist attack" occurred in the SOUTHERN (SO.NY)Hadramout province.
