SANAA: Al-Qaeda militants killed eight Yemeni soldiers Tuesday in an attack on a make-shift military post on a desert road in the country's mostly lawless eastern provinces, a security official said.
"Al-Qaeda militants attacked a military position on the road between Hadramawt and Marib province (in the east), killing eight soldiers," the official said requesting anonymity.
He said at least four other soldiers were wounded in the attack.
