Bomb kills 2 soldiers in Yemen

A suicide bombing killed two soldiers and wounded six others in eastern Yemen yesterday, a military official said, blaming al-Qaeda militants for the attack.
An explosives-laden car "driven by a suicide attacker from al-Qaeda" exploded at a checkpoint at the entrance to the town of Shibam, in Hadramawt province, the official told AFP.
Militants from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula remain active in the south and east of Yemen despite relentless campaigns by government forces, backed by US drone strikes.
