Yemen violence: Twin attacks on army 'kill 30'
At least 30 people were killed when suspected al-Qaeda militants launched simultaneous attacks on army targets in southern Yemen, officials say.
Two car bombs reportedly exploded at a camp in Shabwa province, killing around 20 soldiers and wounding many others.
In a second assault in the area, gunmen shot dead another 10 soldiers in the town of Maifaa.
...
BBC Arab affairs analyst Sebastian Usher says the Shabwa attacks, if they were carried out by AQAP, show what they are still capable of, despite having lost a number of their key members to drone strikes.
