"The Ibb Appeal Court executed this morning by a firing squad Abed Abdul-Razzak Kamil, who killed three American missionaries in Jibla, 5 km to the south of a southern province of Ibb in 2002.

The execution took place in the yard of the central prison of Ibb, which was attended by prison, police and judicial officials.

Some staff of American embassy in Sana’a attended the execution, however, no confirmation made from the US embassy in Sana'a.

Kamil, 30, had been convicted of opening fire on a staff meeting at a Baptist hospital in the southern town of Jibla in December 2002, killing obstetrician and surgeon Martha C. Myers, 57, hospital director William Koehn, 60, and purchasing agent Kathleen A. Gariety, 43.

The death sentence was approved yesterday by President Ali Abdullah Saleh, president of the Supreme Judicial Council, according to Saba News Agency."
