Local sources in Abyan province revealed that three of Sheikh Al-Fadli’s followers killed on Saturday a grocery store owner in Zinjubar city, Mohamed Qasim from the northern province of Taiz.
Official sources accused Sheikh Tariq Al-Fadli’s followers of the killing and said that security forces would pursue the criminals and bring them before justice.
For their parts, neighbors of Qasim from Zinjubar City condemned the incident, and said Qasim was well-known and well-liked.
The shooters called police from a nearby pay phone as they hid in a nearby alley, local sources who spoke in anonymity said, adding that they ran to help when they saw the criminals shoot Qasim in his back.
Qasim’s neighbors were shocked at what they called a cruel crime, the source added.
Earlier this month, three separatists intercepted four sweet dealers in Habeel Jabr in Radfan district of Lahj province. Three, a father, one of his two sons and his brother-in-law, died immediately.
The criminals called the police informing them about the incident.
