Security: Yemen security forces foil attack on oil installations

Yemeni authorities say security forces have foiled two separate suicide attacks on oil installations, killing all four attackers.

Officials say one security guard was also killed in the exchange of gunfire at one of the installations.

It is reported the attackers using booby-trapped vehicles and dressed as oil workers tried to hit the facilities during the change of shifts early Friday morning.
