Suspected Al-Qaeda gunmen killed three policemen in an attack Sunday on a checkpoint at the entrance to the southern town of Seyoun, a Yemeni security official said. "Armed men, probably members of Al-Qaeda, opened fire on the checkpoint," killing three and wounding two others, the official said. The assailants managed to escape in a car.
