Murder in Yemen


Jew Murdered in Yemen -Roee Nahmias

Moshe Yaish-Nahari [pictured above], the brother of a prominent rabbi in Yemen and the father of eight, was shot to death in Yemen. Eyewitnesses said the killer had confronted Nahari at the market in Rida, called out to him "Jew, accept the message of Islam," and then opened fire with a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

UPDATE:
Jews of Yemen to Be Relocated in Wake of Deadly Attack -Yoav Stern

President Saleh of Yemen is planning to relocate Yemen's Jews from the Amran district and the city of Raidah to the capital, Sana, the rabbi of the Jewish community, Yehi Yaish, said. The community in Raidah, where Moshe Nahari was murdered a few days ago, is estimated to number about 270 Jews. Central government control is weak and many residents carry automatic weapons for protection, including Jews.
