Suspected Al-Qaeda militants early today blew up a pipeline pumping liquefied gas to Yemen's
southern Balhaf export terminal, causing a complete halt in operations, security officials said.
Security chief brigadier-general of Yemen said that the attack took place around 1:00 am local
time today.
Another security official accused Al-Qaeda militants, who remain active in the region, of being behind the attack.
Witnesses said that dozens of villagers fled their houses due to a raging fire caused by the explosion.
The 320-kilometre pipeline linking Marib province to Balhaf, in Yemen's mostly lawless south, has been repeatedly sabotaged by Al-Qaeda militants.
