{{Officials say militants have targeted a border post between Yemen and Saudi Arabia in an attack that left two soldiers and three of the gunmen dead.}}<\/p>\n
Yemen’s official news agency says a suicide car bomber struck the Yemeni side of the border post in the al-Wadia area on Friday, killing one Yemeni soldier and wounding another.<\/p>\n
SABA says other gunmen then fled in two cars toward Saudi Arabia after border guards opened fire.<\/p>\n
Saudi Interior Ministry spokesperson Major General Mansour al-Turki says that Saudi guards exchanged fire with gunmen in the same area, killing three of them and arresting another. <\/p>\n
He says a Saudi border guard commander was killed.<\/p>\n
SABA linked the attack to al-Qaeda, but weapons smugglers and human traffickers also are active in the area.<\/p>\n
