Violent clashes broke out between a number of militants and members of the military Sector in al-Habilyn city in Radfan - Lahej province, in which light and medium weapons were used, this morning November, 27th, 2010
Reportedly, the clashes continued for nearly an hour, and caused no losses in lives, but some material losses occurred to some houses, while the cause of the clashes was the arrest of a Southern Movement activist called Muhssein Daud al-Suhaibi, the father of Daud al-Suhaibi who was killed by Yemeni forces during clashes last Ramadan, while he was in his car heading back from the city of al-Habilyn towards his house in the suburbs.
The city of al-Habilyn that is normally crowded, turned into an empty city, while students were seen leaving their schools fearing of the random bullets that mostly cause the death of civilians and passersby.
Sources in the city said that a big number of militants came down the city laying a siege to the Military Sector of al-Habilyn.
The Aden News Agency knew through trusted sources that the militants could capture two Yemeni soldiers were in civilian clothes, while they were taken to an unknown place.
"The militants gave the Military Sector 24 hours to release al-Suhaibi and his car, and to stop its aggressive acts towards the civilians." Sources close to the militants said.
Later, two helicopters were seen hovering over the city of al-Habilyn at low altitude, while the siege is still lying to the camp till the moment.
