MASSACRE!! Newly Released Video Shows Horrific Attack By Al Qaeda Militants On Hospital Inside Yemen Defense Military Compound (VIDEO)

Yemen is considered to be ground zero when it comes Al Qaeda strongholds these days and despite continuous efforts to rid the nation of the psychotic militants via military campaigns and U.S drone strikes, they often flex their deadly muscles to remind the public there that they are a force to be feared.

CCTV footage has just been released of a December 5 attack on a hospital inside a military compound, and the images are nothing less than disturbing.

52 people were left dead and another 167 wounded when a coordinated attack set off by a suicide bombing took place that day.

One attacker drove a car packed with explosives into the gate of the ministry's compound, then gunmen wearing army uniforms in another vehicle sped in and opened fire on soldiers and doctors and nurses working at a hospital inside, witnesses told Reuters.

Two German and two Vietnamese doctors, and one Indian and two Filipino nurses were among the dead.

Ministry staff were arriving for work when the suicide bomber struck, two sources inside the ministry said.

The massive blast shook the bustling Bab al-Yemen neighbourhood on the edge of the capital Sanaa's old city, a warren of market stalls and stone tower houses decorated with stained glass windows and ornate plasterwork.

"The explosion was very violent, the whole place shook because of it," said an employee who works in the area where the country's central bank is also located.

Medics and a defence ministry official said the gunmen pulled a Western doctor and a Filipino nurse into the hospital's courtyard and shot them in front of local staff.

The attackers also killed one of Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi's relatives who was visiting a patient in the site, the defence ministry said on its website.

Security forces retook the compound after killing most of the attackers, the ministry added. Full Story w/ Video
