Suspected Al-Qaeda militants drive through the streets of Azzan in the southern Yemeni province of Shabwa on April 3, 2012, with loudspeakers attached to their vehicle on which a flag bearing the name of Prophet Mohammed flutters. Al-Qaeda militants killed seven policemen on April 1 in an attack on a checkpoint in Yemen's southeast, according to a security official, as the group's branch in Yemen, the self-proclaimed Partisans of Sharia (Islamic law), exploits the decline in central government control that accompanied Arab Spring-inspired protests that eventually forced president Ali Abdullah Saleh to cede power.
