ADEN: Gunmen riding a motorcycle shot dead a Yemeni special forces captain yesterday in the south of the country as he was leaving his home, the ministry of defense said.
Majed Matir was leaving his home in Qotn in the province of Hadramawt when two men on a motorcycle opened fire killing him, the ministry said on its website 26Sep.net.
Matir led the special forces unit in the city that was responsible for fighting terrorism and countering riots. The attack was probably carried out by members of Al-Qaeda, the ministry said citing a security official.
