Gunmen in Yemen killed eight soldiers and wounded six on Monday when they attacked a checkpoint in Hadramawt province in the southeast, military sources said, with one blaming al-Qaida.
'Armed men aboard several vehicles attacked a checkpoint near Reida,' 135 kilometers (85 miles) east of Hadramawt provincial capital Mukalla, 'killing eight soldiers and wounding six more', one source told Agence France Presse.
Another said the attack appeared to be the work of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, which is active in south and southeast Yemen.
