Al-Qaida, Yemeni Forces Clash in Aden

Four Yemeni soldiers and three civilians were killed in heavy clashes overnight between Yemeni security forces and suspected al-Qaida militants in Aden's Mansoura district, a local official said Tuesday. Residents reported the area was rocked by blasts as aircraft believed to belong to the Arab coalition flew above, and the gunbattles set ablaze a newly built mall.
