Khamer Crazy Kills 3 and Injures 8 [Archives:1999/19/Local News]

On Friday, May 7th, 1999, inside a mosque in Khamer, some 90 kilometers north of Sanaa, a man suddenly started spraying the people left and right with bullets from his kalashnikov. The man, visibly disturbed and disoriented, was able to get away. He is still at large, though the people have identified him and the police continue to hunt for him.
Three persons were killed and 8 injured.
Community elders and religious leaders used the incident to plead once more with the public and authorities not to bring arms into mosques, and other public places like parks, restaurants, cinema halls, etc.
