Two members of Yemen’s auxiliary Popular Resistance Committees were killed in an overnight ambush by presumed al-Qaeda members in the south, a member of the pro-government militia said on Sunday.

He said the men were gunned down on the road between Loder and Moudia northeast of Zinjibar, the capital of Abyan province.

The attackers, who escaped after the killings, “are presumed to be in al-Qaeda”, he added.

The global jihadist network’s Yemen branch, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), is viewed by Washington as its most dangerous and has claimed repeated deadly attacks, including in the heart of the capital Sanaa.
