Darn that YouTube Video! Chief of Security at Yemen Embassy Assasinated

Chicago Daily Observer 11 October 2012 One Comment

From the Daily Telegraph

The Yemeni chief of security at the US Embassy in Sana’a has been assassinated.

The officials say Qassem Aqlani, who was in his fifties, was shot dead while on his way to work early on Thursday. They say a gunman on a motorcycle opened fire at him and fled the scene.

Mr Aqlani had been working for the US Embassy in the Yemeni capital for nearly 20 years.

The Yemeni officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media.

The attack comes as Yemen’s US-backed government is waging an offensive against al-Qaeda’s branch in the country, taking back territory and cities in the south that the terror group seized last year.
