Yemeni
military officials say landmines laid by al-Qaida fighters have killed eight
people in the past three days near the former militant stronghold of Zinjibar
in the country's south. This brings the total number of mine deaths since the
town fell to a military offensive two weeks ago to 81.
The
officials also said six bodies were found Saturday outside Zinjibar and five
more inside a well on Friday. They say the identities of the 11 have not yet
been established.
The
officials say engineering teams have removed some 3,000 landmines from the
area. They spoke on condition of anonymity according to regulations.
