Four soldiers were killed and 21 others injured when a car bomb exploded in reinforcement troops in Al Mansoura in the southern city of Aden, the ministry of defense said Sunday.

The reinforcement troops were nearby the air defense camp in Aden in their way to Abyan where the government troops and tribesmen are tightening the noose on the Al Qaeda operatives who have been controlling the capital of Abyan Zinjubar since May 29 when they declared it an Islamic Emirate.

The suicide bomber , an Al Qaeda operative, who was killed in the blast, was driving a pick-up car, Hilux, the defense ministry said.

The suicide attack would not turn away the armed forces from continuing to cleanse Abyan province from terrorists, said a military source to the website of the defense ministry.
