                   Checkpoint Attack Kills 20 Yemeni Soldiers

   Twenty Yemeni soldiers are dead after an attack on a military
   checkpoint in the eastern part of the country.
   The state-run Saba news agency said the attack happened Monday in
   Hadramout province.
   There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
   However, al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) has carried out
   regular attacks on government officials and security forces.
   Last month, suspected AQAP militants bombed a military bus in Yemen`s
   capital, killing at least two soldiers. In December, AQAP said it was
   behind a suicide bombing at a hospital next to Yemen`s defense ministry
   that killed 52 people.
   The al-Qaida branch is considered one of the world`s most active.
