Revenge kills 4 in Jawf [Archives:2002/47/Local News]

Four people were killed in the Jawf province last Wednesday when an armed group from Bani Nawf tribe, based in Jawf, stopped a car and started shooting at it intensely until all the four men in it were killed.
The car was on its way from Sana’a into the Jawf province.
Tribal sources in the region stated the reason behind the murder was probably tribal revenge between tribesmen from Bani Nawf and others belonging to the Al Ahmed tribe, to which the four killed men belonged.
It was mentioned that Mohamed bin Tessa’ah of the Al Ahmed tribe was accused of killing three tribesmen of Bani Nawf tribe in one of Al Jawf markets. The sources added that the Yemeni government encouraged the slaughtering of
three men of Bani Nawf tribe and granted their killer two cars and five military ranks.
When inquired, the government denied those claims and said that the issue was probably an internal tribal vengeance.
