SANAA, Oct. 15 -- A Yemeni armed tribesman stormed a mosque, south of the capital Sanaa on Tuesday, killing five men from a one family and injuring six others over a family dispute, police said.

The incident took place on Tuesday morning when tens of villagers performed the prayers of Eid al-Adha in the southern outskirts of al-Hada, some 20 km south of Sanaa.
