Yemen

Al Qaeda in Yemen claimed responsibility for Friday’s attack on a tour group that left two women dead when they were shot at point blank range. In a call to the Yemeni weekly al Wasat, Al Qaeda in Yemen said the attack was in retaliation for poor treatment of their members in prison. Authorities have arrested four in connection with the attack.
