Qaeda mines kill 73 in Yemen
At least 50 civilians and 23 military personnel have been killed by mines sown by al-Qaeda since the militants were chased out of areas of south Yemen on June 13, the defence ministry reported yesterday.
The deputy governor, Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahwi, was quoted as saying that demining had allowed "60 to 70 percent of those displaced from Jaar and its suburbs to return home," adding that electricity and water supplies had been restored.
