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 A Yemeni man shotfouroil company co-workers in the province of Marib, killing an American, a Canadian, aYem and wounding a second Canadian before shooting himself dead. .0 150 ml 0 150 km SAUDI ARABIA /<>(.(/ Marib YEMEN Si 'U , O y \ San'a': sml ERIT.'
