Sana'a: A Saudi
Arabian military diplomat was Wednesday assassinated by
unidentified gunmen in security uniforms in the capital city of Sanaa, Xinhua reported.
"Gunmen in security uniforms intercepted the car of a Saudi
military diplomat in a busy street in downtown Sana'a while he was
on his way to the Saudi embassy, killing him and his Yemeni
bodyguard," an interior ministry official said.
The gunmen fled the scene before police rushed to investigate the
incident.
Officials at the Saudi embassy in Sana'a did not comment on the
incident.
Saudi officials in Yemen have been frequently targeted since the
kingdom supported the Yemeni government in its war against the Al
Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
Saudi diplomat Abdullah Mohammed Khalifa al-Khaledi has been held
hostage by the AQAP in Yemen for eight months since he was
kidnapped from outside his residential building in Yemen's
southern port city of Aden in March.
