Car bomb kills British man in Yemen
None
A bomb placed under the driver's seat of a British man's car blew up in southern Yemen on Wednesday, killing the man, security officials said, while opposition parties accused the government of trying to assassinate the leader of a key Islamist opposition group in an attack in the capital.
Security across Yemen has nearly collapsed after five months of mass protests calling for the end of autocratic President Ali Abdullah Saleh's 33-year rule. The US and Yemen's Gulf Arab neighbors fear that al-Qaeda and other armed groups could exploit the chaos engulfing this impoverished corner of the Arabian Peninsula to step up operations. (AP)
