ADEN (Reuters) - Six soldiers and three suspected Islamist militants died during a suicide bombing and assault on the main military headquarters in Aden on Wednesday and a 10-year-old boy was killed in subsequent clashes, medics and local media said.
The attack on the army headquarters bore the hallmarks of previous assaults by al Qaeda on military facilities, including an attack on the Defence Ministry compound in Sanaa in December and an earlier one on the headquarters of the Second Division in Hadramout province.
