Summary
Two people were killed and 10 wounded on Monday in two explosions at the site of a suspected Al-Qaeda training camp in southern Yemen which was hit by an air strike last week that also killed 49 civilians. The two explosions went off after a protest by thousands of southern tribesmen demanding an investigation into the attack in the village of al-Maajala, in Abyan province, a local authority official said. Dozens of protesters had visited the site to inspect the aftermath of the raids, when the two explosions took place, the official told a foreign news agency requesting anonymity. The source of the explosion was not immediately clear, but the official and witnesses said that it appeared to be unexploded munitions either dropped by the aircraft or left by the militants. Thursday's air raid killed 23 children and 17 women, a local official and tribal sources said. The government said it targeted a suspected Al-Qaeda training camp killing some 30 militants, some of them foreigners.
