Al-Qaeda claims attacks in Yemen oil province
None
Al Qaeda's Yemen-based arm said it was behind two attacks that killed at least 11 soldiers in an oil province last month, and threatened more strikes on government targets.
The attacks in the southern Shabwa province on July 22 and 25 were among five raids on state targets since June which have been blamed on the resurgent militant group. Officials have said al Qaeda may have been also behind an attack that killed three soldiers on Thursday. (Reuters)
