Islamists attack Yemeni airport as bomber hits army base - sources

ADEN (Reuters) - Six suspected al Qaeda fighters, six soldiers and a civilian woman were killed in a series of militant attacks in the eastern Yemeni city of Seiyun on Thursday, local officials said.

A suicide bomber drove his explosives-laden car into the entrance of an army base, killing four soldiers in the city in Hadramawt province - a territory with some of the country's dwindling oil reserves. Another militant was killed in clashes that followed.
