Aden - At least 11 people were killed on

Tuesday in a suicide car bomb attack on a checkpoint in

southeastern Yemen run by local forces backed by the United Arab

Emirates, officials and residents said.

Residents said gunmen opened fire on the checkpoint after a

suicide bomber drove his booby-trapped car into the checkpoint

northeast of Ataq, the capital of the province of Shabwa. They

said at least 12 people were killed.
