Assailants kill Iranian diplomat in Yemen
Print Edition
An Iranian diplomat was fatally wounded in a drive-by shooting outside the ambassador’s residence in the Yemeni capital yesterday, a medic said.
“The Iranian diplomat has died of his wounds,” said the medic at Sanaa’s Modern German Hospital.
He said the diplomat, identified as Ali Asghar Assadi, had been “hit in the shoulder, abdomen and stomach.”
“He was taken to the operating theater then transferred to intensive care but died after an hour and half.”
The Iranian embassy didn’t comment but other diplomats said the victim was an embassy security officer.
“Unidentified assailants in a van fired on the diplomat three times as he was leaving the ambassador’s residence near a shopping center in Hadda,” a police source said.
Iranian diplomat Nour-Ahmad Nikbakht was kidnapped in Sanaa in July and remains in captivity.
