Yemeni oil field attack North Americans
shot in Yemen
leaves four workers dead
By Ahmed Al-Haj
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN'A, Yemen —A Yemeni
man shot four oil company co
workers Tuesday — killing an
American, a Canadian and a
Yemeni — before shooting him
self dead, the Yemeni Interior
Ministry said.
A second Canadian was
wounded. The assailant may
have suffered from depression,
and witnesses reported that dur
ing the attack he yelled he was
taking revenge “against those
who were filing reports about
him,” a ministry statement said.
The attack occurred in an oil
field in the oil-rich northern
province of Marib, about 100
miles northeast of the Yemeni
capital San'a, a ministry state
ment said.
A statement by Hunt Oil Co.,
which supervises the oil rig, said
the four victims worked at a rig
owned and operated by Nabors
Drilling Co. and were shot while
working in the field.
The American victim was a
Hunt Oil Co. superintendent.
while the two Canadians and the
Yemeni man, in addition to the
alleged killer, were Nabors
employees, the Hunt statement
said.
The names of the American
and Canadians were not
released, pending notification of
next of kin. The dead Yemeni oil
worker was identified as Nazem
al-Kabati.
In a statement, the U.S.
Embassy in San'a condemned
the violence and called on the
Yemeni government to investi
gate. It said American law
enforcement personnel would
help.
The Yemeni Interior Ministry
statement, quoting an unidenti
fied official, said the alleged
assailant, identified as Naji
Abdullah al-Kumaim, worked
for Nabors for seven years and
suffered from depression.
“According to testimony
from his co-workers, the
assailant was suffering from
bouts of depression,” the state
ment said. “He was not known
to have any previous political
affiliations and the motives of
the crime are believed to be
