13 Killed in 'Qaida Bomb' Accident in Yemen

Ten civilians and three army technicians were killed on Wednesday when a bomb planted by presumed al-Qaida militants exploded in south Yemen, a security official said.

The device placed in the Tibn area of Lahij province went off when the soldiers were trying to defuse it, but the area had not been sealed off to keep civilians away, the official added.
