Observed by: Mr. Alaa Isam

A body of a Yemeni soldier was found in al-Habilyn, on Friday, to raise the number of the dead of yesterday's clashes to four.

The body, according to local sources, was found in the area near the Military Sector that witnessed violent clashes between tribal militants and the soldiers inside it.

The sources added that the clashes are still occurring in the area, where the militants are laying siege to the Military Sector, while rumors have been widely spread that military orders allowed the military to use the air-forces to strike the area, a thing that caused many people to evacuate the town of al-Habilyn.

The town of al-Habilyn was shelled violently during the whole night, while armed clashes were heard in all over the town that is located in a main road links Sana'a, the Yemeni capital, with Aden, the largest city of South Yemen.

The Southern Movement on the other hand, has released a statement calling the people to a "day of anger" to protest against Tambah, who was killed when security forces attempted to capture him, yesterday.

Separately, two soldiers were killed at a security checkpoint in Abyan province, the attackers used a minibus, motorcycles, and machine guns to attack the soldiers who were getting ready to perform their prayers.
