Yemen blames Al-Qaeda for bombing of S. Koreans

None

Yemeni state media blamed Al-Qaeda on Monday for a suicide bombing that killed four South Korean holidaymakers and their local guide in the historic eastern tourism city of Shibam.

 

An 18-year-old who had been "tricked by Al-Qaeda into wearing an explosives vest" carried out the attack in the ancestral homeland of the militant network's fugitive leader Osama bin Laden, the official Saba news agency said. (AFP)
