Suicide bombers failed to blow up two of Yemen ÿs oil installations on Friday. The four attackers and one security guard died.
The interior ministry said an investigation was underway to determine the identities of the attackers and the group to which they were affiliated.
The ministry condemned the attempted bombings describing them as "terrorist attacks targeting the security and economy" of Yemen . Such attacks "would not deter the country from efforts to fight terrorism and the terrorist element," the statement said.
Saudi Arabia has also foiled terrorist attacks on its oil facility in February this year. |
