TEHRAN (FNA)- Yemeni revolutionaries stormed an al-Qaeda stronghold in central Yemen on Sunday and killed large numbers of them, local tribesmen said.

The revolutionaries inflicted massive losses on al-Qaeda terrorists in al-Bayda province, and managed to take the control of the terrorist group's hideout, World Bulletin reported.

The latest round of fighting comes as hundreds of thousands of Yemeni people from various tribes and faiths have been staging massive protests in Sana'a for the last several weeks to demand the dismissal of the government and the reversal of an earlier government decision to slash fuel subsidies.
