ADEN, Yemen, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- A total of 11 al-Qaida militants and two soldiers were killed when fierce fighting erupted early Wednesday between dozens of the terrorist group members and the Yemeni army forces in the restive southern province of Abyan, an army officer said. The local army officer told Xinhua on condition of anonymity that dozens of the al-Qaida insurgents impeded the army units progress in tracking and cleansing the group fugitives in the eastern parts of Zinjibar city, the provincial capital of Abyan province, which was recaptured in a recent operation by the Yemeni army forces from the terrorists hands earlier the week. "Dozens of the al-Qaida militants attacked the army units in the Bagdar area, which were trying to launch a campaign in order to cleanse the remained al-Qaida fortifications in east of Zinjibar," the officer told Xinhua. "At least 11 al-Qaida militants and two soldiers were killed in that fighting between the two sides," he added. Another local army officer said some of al-Qaida gunmen Wednesday were positioned on tall buildings in Zinjibar in order to snipe the government troops who were tracking the group members there. The Yemen-based al-Qaida wing vowed Tuesday to avenge U.S. air strikes against its hideouts in Abyan province. Abyan, some 480 km south of the capital Sanaa, is a key stronghold of the al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The government troops on Saturday freed the besieged army forces and recaptured Zinjibar city after three-month-long fighting with AQAP militants.13 killed in fighting between army troops al-qaida militants in s yemen - Nachi Pump Manufacturer13 killed in fighting between army troops al-qaida militants in s yemen - Nachi Pump Manufacturer13 killed in fighting between army troops al-qaida militants in s yemen - Nachi Pump Manufacturer13 killed in fighting between army troops al-qaida militants in s yemen - Nachi Pump Manufacturer13 killed in fighting between army troops al-qaida militants in s yemen - Nachi Pump Manufacturer We are high quality suppliers, our products such as Nachi Pump Manufacturer , China Rexroth Pumps for oversee buyer.
