ADEN: Al Qaeda militants abducted and executed on Friday 15 Yemeni soldiers in the southeastern province of Hadramawt, a military official said.

The latest bloodshed comes a day after 11 suspected Al Qaeda militants and four Yemeni soldiers were killed on Thursday in attacks on two army posts in the restive province.

The soldiers were in a bus when they were ambushed “by an Al Qaeda commando” near the town of Shibam, said the official, adding that the men were taken to the nearby village of Huta and executed.
