Well-informed sources said on Monday that the security services are currently investigating with six people in connection with the suicide attack against a security camp in Sayun which killed a soldier and the attacker and wounded at least 17 including seven women living near the camp.

The terrorist attack targeted on 25 July the camp of the Central Security Forces and public security in Sayun city of Hadramout province, the east of Yemen.

The sources pointed out that security officials had tracked down the people close to the suicide bomber who carried out the attack at the camp in Sayun, affirming that the al-Qaeda-linked group had been hunted in several districts of Hadramout.

The perpetrator of the suicide bombing has been identified, while an al-Qaeda cell has claimed responsibility for the bombing.

Al-Qaeda in Yemen took credit for the suicide bombing in an emailed statement that included a purported photo of the suicide attacker, identified as Ahmed Bin Said Omar al-Masjari, also known as Abu Dajjana Al-Hadrami.

Al-Masjari was a third-level medical student at Hadramout University and was born in Saudi Arabia.

Al-Masjari drove a 2003 KIA through the security camp’s gates, which prompted security soldiers to open fire on the bomber.

The sources said that the security services are following suspects others who may have helped the suicide attacker. Two of the alleged planners are Saudis and one goes by the name of Mohammed Al-Qahtani. The other Saudi suspect’s name was not released.
