A Yemeni security official says a suicide car bomb has killed two soldiers at a checkpoint in the country's south.
The official said another six were wounded Friday when the bomber blew up his explosives-rigged car after he was stopped at the checkpoint at the entrance to the city of Shibam, in Hadramawt province. He spoke on condition of anonymity according to rules.
