Three Soldiers Killed in Yemen 'Qaida' Bomb Attack

A suspected al-Qaida bomb attack killed three Yemeni soldiers and wounded five others Friday, a military source said, the second attack in days on security forces in Yemen's southeastern Hadramawt province. 

An explosive device planted in the town of Seyun was detonated remotely as a vehicle carrying army personnel passed by, the source said. 

Three soldiers were killed on Wednesday in a similar bombing west of Seyun. 

Security forces are often the target of deadly attacks, which are usually blamed on al-Qaida militants, who are active in the violence-wracked country.

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula is considered by Washington as the jihadist network's most dangerous affiliate.
