Al Arabiya News Channel’s sources in Yemen on Tuesday evening said unidentified gunmen attacked the lawyer of ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh in the center of the capital Sanaa, causing severe injuries.

The legal department of the Saleh’s party denounced the attack on Mohammed Mahdi al-Masuri as a criminal act.

The attack comes a day after a truce between Saleh and the Houthis, on the back of tension and clashes that erupted in Sanaa.
