Armed Yemeni tribesmen deployed across the streets of Mukalla on Sunday, residents and local officials said, taking control of the eastern port town which had been briefly overrun by al Qaeda militants. The tribal fighters entered Mukalla on Saturday, pledging to restore security after the militants broke into its jail on Thursday, freed a local al Qaeda leader, ransacked banks and took over local government buildings, residents said. The turmoil in Mukalla is another sign of Yemen's collapsed central authority as a Saudi-led air campaign seeks to push back Shi'ite Houthi forces who control the capital Sanaa and are fighting for the main southern city of Aden. Just outside Mukalla, the tribesmen fought with troops at a checkpoint before dawn on Sunday, killing two soldiers, tribal sources said.
