At least 10 people have been killed in Yemen over the past four days in attacks led by an al Qaeda's affiliate against Shi'ite Houthi fighters and the Yemeni army, local officials and the group said. Yemen has been in limbo since its president and prime minister resigned less than two weeks ago after the Houthis seized the presidential palace and confined the head of state to his residence in a struggle to tighten control over Yemen. On Sunday, Ansar al-Sharia said its members targeted and killed Abu Abdullah al-Ayadi, a Houthi commander in Yemen's central city of Ibb, according the group's Twitter account. The group also said on Twitter it shot an army officer in the southern province of Lahj on Friday and killed three other Houthi fighters in the central province of al-Bayda on Thursday.
