A suspected Islamic extremist shot dead three American doctors and wounded a fourth on Monday in the southern Yemeni town of Jibla.
Wielding a Kalashnikov assault rifle, the gunman opened fire in a Christian-run hospital in the province of Ibb, 170 km south of the capital Sanaa.
The attacker, a suspected Muslim fundamentalist, was later arrested, officials said without providing further
details.
The attacker entered the hospital hiding a semi-automatic rifle under his jacket to make it resemble a child and then
opened fire, killing the three doctors instantly.
He then headed to the hospital's pharmacy and opened fire wounding a pharmacist.
