Sanaa school shooting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sanaa school shooting was a school shooting that occurred in Sanaa, Yemen, on March 30, 1997. Mohammad Ahman al-Naziri, 48, attacked hundreds of pupils at two schools, killing six children and two adults with an assault rifle. Naziri, whose five children attended the Tala'i school, alleged that one of his daughters had been raped by the school administrator. No evidence was found of this.
Naziri was sentenced to death the next day and executed on April 5, 1997.
Naziri was executed by gunshot and his body was then kicked to a pulp by angry citizens and burned. His daughters fought the courts against the execution but lost. The daughter who was allegedly raped committed suicide 5 years later; the other four children all died in a train accident in 2006.
