Aden, Yemen (AFP) Jan 29, 2011 Yemen has arrested six men who allegedly killed five people, four of them soldiers, in an attack in the southeast on a convoy carrying a government payroll, the interior ministry said. "Yemeni security forces have arrested six people suspected of killing four soldiers and a postal employee in the Al-Shihr region," 60 kilometres (35 miles) east of Mukalla, capital of Hadramawt province, it said late on Friday. A ministry statement said the six suspects, whom it reported as being between 25 and 35 years old, allegedly attacked a vehicle carrying civil servants' salaries on Wednesday, killing the five. Two civil servants and a soldier were also wounded in the assault, Omar al-Amudi, chief financial officer of the Hadramawt postal service, has said. The defence ministry has accused Al-Qaeda militants of carrying out the attack. Southern Yemen and Hadramawt province have been shaken by a wave of violence attributed by the authorities to the secessionist Southern Movement and Al-Qaeda supporters.
