Vice Governor of Sanaa Murdered [Archives:2000/32/Front Page]

Mr. Saleh Moosa Al-Azzani, vice governor of Sana’a province was assassinated last Friday when an armed group attacked him as he was leaving his house in Sana’a.
Mr Al-Azzani’s 18-year son was seriously injured in the incident and also his wife. The deceased Azzani was escorted to final resting place last Saturday.
Sources close to the assassinated official said that the assassins came from Al-Baidha Province and disguised as workers in a building next to Mr. Azzani’s residence. The same sources anticipated the killers might be members of an Islamic group known as Islamic Group for Immigration & Preaching, which is a large group in Al-Baidha Province.
Other sources attributed the assassination to a tribal feud which virtually took place in Azzan area Ñ birthplace of Mr. Azzani.
