The brutal attack on South Yemeni politicians in 1986, when assassins stormed a meeting of the country's cabinet.
The audacious assassination of South Yemeni politicians during a cabinet meeting in 1986 remains a landmark moment in the region's history. Now, we hear exclusive recent testimony from South Yemen's then-president, whose bodyguards carried out the attack.

Reporter Gamal al Moliky tells how this rivalry escalated into a series of assassinations in 1986 that were shocking, even by the violent standards of Yemen at the time.
