Yemeni reporter killed - the first journalistic fatality of 2015

The reporter died on Sunday (4 January) in the city of Dhamar, south of the Yemeni capital, Sana’a. He was one of the four victims of a roadside bomb blast, allegedly carried out by a group called Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).

 The other three victims were members of a local police force created by the Houthi militia. Houthis are a Shia sect of Islam.

In my opinion this shows how inequality still exists till this day. Terrorists groups still have the opportunity to do whatever they want and this just shows how the Arabic government isn't strict enough on terrorists activities. The president said, Jim Boumelha, said: “We condemn the killing of al Washali … This killing is a reminder of the mindless violence which continues to prey on unsuspecting members of the public attending events and journalists covering them.”
