Yemen militants attack intelligence HQ in south

A Yemeni official says gunmen using mortars and rocket propelled grenades attacked two adjoining intelligence buildings in southern Yemen. Deputy governor of the southern Abyan province, Saleh el-Shamsi, says one guard and one militant died in the attack on Wednesday morning. He says masked gunmen in two separate groups tried to storm the buildings of the intelligence headquarters in the provincial capital, Zinjibar. El-Shamsi says they tried to "take over the two buildings" but that Yemeni guards confronted them and "foiled their plans."
