Al-Qaeda linked suicide bomber kills 90 in Yemen
A suicide bomber in army uniform killed more than 90 soldiers in the heart of the Yemeni capital on Monday and an al Qaeda affiliate threatened more strikes if a US-backed campaign against militants in the front-line state did not stop.
The attack, which also wounded more than 200 people, underscored the threat Yemen faces in its fight to dislodge Islamist militants entrenched in the south and threatening vital shipping lanes in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. (Reuters)
