Gunmen kill Yemeni journalist in Aden
A Yemeni photographer has become the 16th journalist to be killed in Yemen since the start of the country’s civil war.
A Yemeni photojournalist was shot dead near his home in Aden on Tuesday. Nabil Hasan al-Quaety, 34, was attacked by gunmen as he rode in his car in Yemen’s de facto capital, Agence France-Presse reported. Quaety was an AFP contributor.
Yemen’s government condemned the attack and called for an investigation into the incident. A security source told AFP that the assailants got away.
“We condemn this crime against Quaety, whose work was to cover events and facts in pictures,” Najib Ghallab, undersecretary at Yemen's Information Ministry, told AFP.
“It seems that his work has caused outrage among some extremist parties,” Ghallab said.
