Suicide bombings in Yemen kill at least 50 people
SANAA - Two suicide bombers struck in Yemen on Thursday - one targeting a gathering of Shiite rebels in the country's capital and the other hitting a military outpost in the south - in attacks that killed at least 50 people, officials said.
At least 30 people died when a suicide attacker set off his explosives Thursday in central Sanaa, targeting a gathering of supporters of the rebel Shiite Houthis, who overran the capital in an offensive last month, security and hospital officials said.
The second bombing took place on the outskirts of the southern port city of Mukalla in Hadarmout province when a suicide car bomber rammed his car against a security outpost, killing at least 20 soldiers and wounding 15, the officials said.
