Violence also predicted in Yemen

Reuters is reporting that Yemen has declared a state of emergency in the southern city of Dalea.

On Thursday, separatists killed a policeman during an ambush in a nearby province, Reuter’s said, bringing the number of people killed in attacks on southern security men to four in the past week.

The state of emergency is to “guard against acts of violence that outlaws are intent on carrying out in the city,” Reuters said.

In addition to conflict with separatists, Yemen is also facing a northern Shi’ite insurgency and a resurgent al Qaeda, which has already carried out attacks on the holy city of Medina.

In light of the recent attacks in Israel from both Hezbollah and Hamas, violence is now being predicted for Yemen as well.
