A former Irish Army general has survived an IED attack as he tried to bring peace to a war-torn middle eastern state.
The Irish Mirror has learned that retired Defence Forces Major-General Michael Beary escaped injury when a landmine exploded under his armoured SUV in Yemen on Tuesday.
Maj-Gen Beary, 66, has been in the country since December last year – when he was appointed head of a United Nations mission to support a peace plan.
