ADEN, Nov 20 (Reuters) - At least 15 Yemen soldiers and 14 militants have been killed in an attack by al Qaeda on a military post in the eastern region of Hadramawt, a security source said.

The attack began with a suicide bomber detonating an explosive in his car at the military post, between the towns of Shibam and al-Qatn, followed by an assault by 25-30 militants, the security source said. Clashes in the area were still going on, he said. (Reporting By Mohammed Mukhashaf, Writing by Angus McDowall, Editing by Angus MacSwan)
