More than 60 million kinds of weapons are possessed by Yemenis, according to the latest statistics, cited by the weekly Yemen Times newspaper on Monday. 

The parliament had previously issued a law to curb possession and carrying of arms inside the major cities, but it has not been implemented, said the paper. 

Political analysts attributed the large number of weapons to the frequent tribal-government clashes, said the paper – Albawaba.com
