Gunmen seize truck loaded with money in Marib

MARIB, Jan. 8 (YPA) – Tribal gunmen in Marib province seized a truck loaded with money heading to to Ataq city, the capital of Shabwa province, in eastern Yemen, sources said.

The sources confirmed that Al Gharib militants created military checkpoints in their areas and seized the truck loaded with money, accompanied by 5 military vehicles of the Saudi-led coalition.

The source indicated that the military vehicles handed over the money to the tribal militants and returned to the Saudi-backed Islah Party-run Military Police camp in the city of Marib.

Last week, the security officer of the Central Bank of Marib branch submitted his resignation due to the transfer of great funds on trucks without directives from the Minister of Finance in the exiled Hadi government.
