A suicide car bomb driven by a suspected Al-Qaeda fighter has rammed into a
building in south Yemen used by pro-government armed men, killing 12 of them, a
member of the group and medics said.
Leading members of the armed group were holding a meeting in the building which
is a government office, when the attack occured on Monday, a member of the
armed group that have fought the fighters alongside the army said.
"A suicide car bomber from al-Qaeda managed to reach the office of the Popular
Resistance Committees in Loder, and detonated the explosives at the gate," he
added.
"Twelve bodies were brought to the morgue," said a medic at a local hospital.
An unspecified number of people were wounded, witnesses said.
Al-Qaeda fighters were driven out of most of the cities in Abyan province,
including Loder, in June last year in an all-out offensive by government forces
aided by the resistance committees.
The fighters had taken advantage of the weakness of Yemen's central government
during an uprising in 2011 against now-ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh to
seize large swathes of territory across the south, including most of Abyan
province, which they controlled for a year.
Yemeni forces continue to hunt al-Qaeda fighters, aided by US drone attacks
that target wanted members hiding in the vast rugged terrain of the southern
Arabian Peninsula country.
