Confrontations Between Jahm Tribe and Mechanized Brigade 25 [Archives:2000/50/Front Page]

Two soldiers were injured in gun shooting confrontations last Thursday in Serwah – Mareb. The soldiers were from the Mechanized Brigade 25 stationed in Serwah. The confrontations occurred because one of Jahm tribesmen was prevented from passing through the check-point of the Brigade as he was not holding an ID. This led to a quarrel between him and the soldiers who fired at his car. A group of tribesmen attacked the check-point with weapons and bazookas wounding the two soldiers after which they were taken to the Military Hospital in Mareb. It is worth mentioning that the region is witnessing continuous confrontations between tribesmen and military forces that led to killing and injuring many people.
