Al-Qaeda militant dies in botched attack in Yemen
A suspected al-Qaeda militant died Friday in a botched suicide attack on an intelligence office in southern Yemen after his explosives detonated prematurely, security officials said. A civilian who was likely tricked into giving him a ride on a motorcycle also died in the blast.
The bomber was on his way to attack an intelligence office in the city of Mansoura in Aden province when the explosion happened, the officials said. The civilian who was killed probably had no idea about the bomber's plans, they added. (AP)
