Five Explosions Rock Yemeni Capital -- Al Jazeera

Sanaa's old quarter, largely inhabited by Houthi supporters, hit by bomb blasts as sectarian unrest persists.

Five bombs have exploded in Sanaa's old quarter, where many supporters of the Shia Muslim Houthi group live, killing at least one person and wounding another, according to a Yemeni security official.

No one claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attacks, but the Houthis have been fighting the Sunni Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) group and allied tribesmen since its fighters captured Sanaa in September and forced the resignation of the government.

Witnesses said the blasts occurred early in the morning at a time when only a few people were on the streets.

Yemen along with Somalia is an Obama administration success story.

Just as ask a current or former White House hoax person (Jay Kearney or Josh Earnest).

They will tell you the truth. They will josh you not.
