Scores Die in Attack on Yemeni Army Basee -- New York Times
ADEN, Yemen — Islamist militants bombarded an army encampment near the city of Zinjibar in southern Yemen on Sunday, and scores of soldiers and militants were reported killed. Zinjibar is one of two cities that the Yemeni government has sworn to take back by force from the militants’ control.
Military and medical officials said on Monday that 78 soldiers and 28 militants were killed, The Associated Press reported.
In the attack, at least two suicide bombers detonated cars close to the post, just west of Zinjibar, and other militants then mounted mortar attacks in what one Yemeni official called a major escalation in the conflict.
