Yemen ISIS-linked militants kill senior officer in Aden

 

Yemen’s ISIS-linked militants say they have killed a senior security officer in the southern port city of Aden.

 

The militants on Monday said in an online statement that they killed Col. Ali Saleh al-Yafie and posted photographs purported to show the killing in Aden’s Mansoura neighborhood.

 

The statement could not be independently verified but it was posted on an ISIS website that has had similar claims in the past. It did not say when the Yemeni colonel was killed.
