Tribal Clashes: 3 Killed [Archives:2001/07/Front Page]

Three tribesmen were killed in a tribal revenge confrontation between Abu Qashah and Al-Usaimat tribes in Amran governorate. The clash that has been taking place for three days claimed the lives of Hamad Mohamed Saleh, 35, Hussein Ali Naji Qashah from Abu Qashah tribe and Abu Saeed Al-Usaimi from Al-Usaimat tribe.
The Ministry of Interior sent around 2,000 soldiers to control the situation but failed to do so as things got out of hand due to continuous firing between the two tribes.
Sources at the Supreme Elections Committee (SEC) told Yemen Times that the clashes stopped the pre-election process in constituency no 226 as the tribe of Abu Qashah prevented the candidacy of anyone from both tribes, causing a halt in the pre-election procedures in the constituency composed of 8 electoral centers.
