Amran, Yemen - A Yemeni court on Saturday sentenced to death a man who killed ten people in a shooting rampage outside a mosque in north-western Yemen on May 30.

Abdullah Saleh al-Kohali, 26, confessed to the crime during the trial in Amran, some 70 kilometres north of the capital Sana'a.

When the trial began on June 8, he said he intended to avenge his honour by killing a man sexually involved with his sister. He said the main target of his shooting was a fellow clansman identified as Belal Qassim al-Kohali.
