DISTURBING: Ex Army Officer Kills 12 at Daughter's Wedding Ceremony
A wedding ceremony in Yemen has turned into a murder scene following the killing of 12 men by the father of the bride.
Officials and a relative of the family said the father of the bride, a "mentally disturbed retired army officer" hurled two grenades, killing eight women, four children and himself.
Eighteen others, including women and children, were wounded in the incident late Monday in the town of Yarim, in western Ibb province, the official said.
A relative said the father, Hazaa Sharman, was a “mentally disturbed retired army officer.”
Ravaged by an 18-month long fighting between government forces and rebels, Yemen is awash with personal weapons and carrying firearms is entrenched in the traditions of the republic.
