US News and World Report/Al-Monitor: Assassinations, Chaos Cripple Yemen's Aden

Yemen's temporary capital Aden has turned into a scene of bloody operations against government officials.

On Dec. 6, Maj. Gen. Jaafar Mohammed Saad, governor of the city of Aden, was killed in a car bomb targeting his convoy in Aden, in southern Yemen. The attack confirms that insecurity has reached severe heights in the temporary capital of Yemen's President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.

This attack came amid a series of other security incidents, such as the killing Dec. 5 of the head of the Aden-based anti-terrorism court, Mohsen Alwan, in the city of Mansoura. On the same day, unknown armed assailants killed military intelligence officer Col. Aqeel al-Khodr in al-Mualla district.
