Gunmen from the Giants militia have kidnapped the brother of public health official and activist Abdullah Al-Bani who was assassinated on the morning of last Eid al-Fitr in the Bayhan district of Shabwa Governorate.
Local sources told Al-Sahwa Net that the armed militiamen kidnapped Omar Al-Bani, a day after three members of his family were kidnapped without legal justification.
The sources added that these kidnappings came after the escalation of demands to quickly hold trial sessions for those accused of killing Sheikh Abdullah Al-Bani, after they were kidnapped for unknown reasons. Sheikh Al-Bani was martyred by the bullets of soldiers belonging to the Shabwa defense militia after leading the congregation in the Eid al-Fitr prayer and sermon last year in the square of the Bayhan district.
