Yemeni soldiers carry the body of one of the three slain female hostages after being transferred on a military helicopter to the al-Dailami airforce base in Sanaa June 16, 2009. Yemen said on Tuesday it was offering a reward of $25,000 for information leading to the capture of kidnappers thought to have shot foreign hostages. Three women from a party of nine kidnapped foreigners were found dead in northern Yemen this week, in a rare killing that comes as separatist and militant tensions intensify in a country whose instability has alarmed Western countries and Saudi Arabia.
