Nine missing foreigners in Yemen have been murdered, said a Yemeni official on Monday, apparently executed by their kidnappers in the impoverished nation in the Arabian peninsula where al-Qaeda has a strong presence.
The nine foreigners, including seven German nationals, a Briton and a South Korean, disappeared last week while on a picnic in the restive northern Saada region of Yemen.
