Armed men raid new Yemen newspaper

Armed man in plain clothes, but riding in army jeeps, have raided the offices of a new Yemeni weekly paper, Al-Sharaa, breaking down doors and searching offices. They also threatened to kill its editor-in-chief, Naif Hassan, who was away at the time. The attack follows a call by Yemen's ministry of defence for the paper's closure, claiming that some articles have harmed national security. (Via CPJ)
