Five Yemeni soldiers and one guard, guarding the Balhaf LNG terminal in the Shabwa province of Yemen, were killed yesterday by suspected Al-Qaeda militants.
According to a report by a Yemeni official, the shooters infiltrated a checkpoint at the terminal, killing the guard, and killed five of the soldiers in their sleep, before escaping in a vehicle.
