Attackers kill 2 Yemen police

Attackers on a motorbike shot dead two Yemeni policemen in the southern separatist bastion of Daleh overnight, a security official said Tuesday, just weeks after a truce was agreed. The two attackers, one riding pillion, fled after gunning down the officers guarding the southern town's police station, the official said. A third policeman was wounded in the shooting, which came less than three weeks after a March 13 prisoner exchange between southern separatists and the army was supposed to turn the page on months of deadly violence in and around the town. In the deadliest incident, tank fire on a funeral tent for a slain separatist militant killed 19 mourners in Daleh on December 27, according to AFP.
