ADEN (AFP) - Yemeni air force jets hit an Qaeda stronghold town, killing seven civilians when they mistakenly struck a mosque, a local official said Monay. "The Yemeni air force accidentally shelled a mosque in Jaar, killing seven people and wounding five others," the official told AFP. Meanwhile, Yemen's ruling party is to meet to discuss a UN-proposed roadmap for embattled President Saleh to hand over power to his deputy, a party official said on Monday. "The general committee of the General People's Congress will meet within the next few days to discuss the roadmap," in line with a call from VP Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi, the official told AFP, requesting anonymity.
