Yemeni kills four brothers before shooting himself

A Yemeni killed four of his brothers on Tuesday before turning his gun on himself after a row over a plot of land, the official Saba news agency reported.
The man opened fire on his brothers with a Kalashnikov rifle, killing four of them and wounding two, in the province of Dhamar, south of the capital, a local security official told the news agency.
The 45-year-old assailant was the youngest of the brothers. The eldest was 70.
Last year, Yemen banned people from bringing firearms into major cities in a bid to stem crime and violence in a country with one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the world.
Owning a gun has long been seen as an essential part of the culture in the impoverished Arabian Peninsula state, which has an estimated 60 million firearms in private hands -- roughly three for every citizen.
Two students were killed and 24 wounded earlier this month when a man threw a hand grenade in a restaurant at Sanaa university, in an attack that was also linked to a family dispute.
