SANA'A, May 11, 2012- A gas exporting pipeline was attacked by a saboteur on Friday in Yemen's eastern province of Mareb.

Security sources in Mareb said that a saboteur blew up a gas pipeline in al-Dmashiqa district of al-Wadi city.

Friday's attack is the newest of series sabotages conducted by tribesmen in Mareb province, which targeted the vital facilities within the province.
