Terror suspect killed as bomb he was making accidentally explodes

May 3, 2009, 19:16 GMT

Sana'a, Yemen - A suspected member of al-Qaeda was killed Sunday when an explosive device he was making went off accidentally in southern Yemen, the defence ministry said. The suspect, identified as Anwar Muhammed al-Taghshi, died instantly as the bomb exploded in his hideout in the al-Wadhea district of the southern province of Abyan, the ministry said in a statement. It said al-Taghshi was on the list of most wanted al-Qaeda members sought by police in Yemen. The suspect 'was preparing the bomb to use it in a terrorist operation when it exploded and killed him instantly,' the statement said. Abyan, some 70 kilometres east of the southern port city of Aden, is one of the strongholds of al-Qaeda and other Yemeni Jihadist groups. Last March, authorities said police arrested about 70 suspected members of terrorist groups in a crackdown in Abyan.
