3 Qaeda suspects plotting Yemen attack killed in raid

ADEN: Yemeni forces killed three suspected Al-Qaeda militants in a raid on their hideout in Aden, foiling a major plot to blow up targets in the restive southern port city, a security official said on Tuesday.

"We raided a house in the Mansoura district... clashes broke out, three Qaeda operatives were killed and four members of the security forces were wounded," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Monday's operation "foiled several terror attacks that were going to be carried out in the coming hours," he added.
