Acting on intelligence reports, the security forces surrounded Shayef Mohammed Saeed Al-Shabwani in Sanaa, the capital, on Thursday night, the state-run news agency Saba said. It cited an official in Yemen's Supreme Security Committee.

Al-Shabwani, described by the Yemeni official as one of the "most-wanted dangerous" terrorists of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, then opened fire on the security personnel, the agency reported.

Al-Shabwani and another man who was with him at the time were killed in the ensuing clash, Saba said.

The Yemeni official told Saba that Al-Shabwani was responsible for planning and carrying out kidnappings and assassinations in Sanaa that targeted the military, the security forces and foreign citizens.
