Yemeni Journalist for Al Arabiya Killed by Bomb Planted in His Car
Authorities said a bomb planted under his seat killed the Al Arabiya correspondent, and investigators are searching for suspects after no group claimed responsibility.
- On Wednesday, Al Arabiya journalist Mohammed Aydah was killed in Mukalla, Yemen, when a bomb detonated in his car; local authorities had warned him of a threat one month ago.
- Aydah previously fled Sanaa years ago after being pursued by Houthi rebels, then relocated to Hadramout province to continue reporting for the Saudi-backed network.
- Rashad al-Alimi, chairman of the Saudi-backed Presidential Leadership Council, ordered a high-level investigation; Al-Hadath reported that authorities arrested two suspects and are pursuing a third.
- The Yemeni Journalists Syndicate condemned the bombing as a "terrorist" attack and a flagrant violation of press freedom, while U.N. Special Envoy Hans Grundberg called for accountability and media protection.
- No group claimed responsibility for the incident, which occurred amid security tensions in Hadramout; the Southern Transitional Council blamed the attack on the dismantling of units that previously ousted al Qaeda.
