Amnesty International, Yemen Human Rights Catastrophe Report
Amnesty International released a report detailing a human rights catastrophe in southern Yemen's Abyan region. The report alleges that an Al-Qaeda-linked militia, Ansar al-Sharia, carried out public executions, crucifixions, and amputations between February and June. Concurrently, an attack on an oil pipeline near the Gulf of Aden resulted in the loss of 8,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
