Terror Attack on elderly home Yemen

aden - Three armed men on Friday with automatic rifles opened fire at a retirement home in the Yemeni port city of Aden. Least seven people were killed, including four Christian nuns from India, said local officials and residents.

Among the dead are also two Yemeni women who worked at the nursing home and a security guard, said a local official. Some reports have also slain twelve elderly residents, but that he could not confirm. The three gunmen escaped and their motive is unclear.

The government of Yemen sits forced in Aden, but has struggled to assert its authority again after she managed to expel Iran linked Shiite Houthi rebels with support from Arab countries. Extremist Sunni groups refuse to make room for the government.
