Bloomberg: Suicide Bombers Attack Shiite Mosques in Yemen Killing Dozens
(Bloomberg) -- Suicide bombers attacked two mosques in Yemen’s capital Sana’a during Friday prayers, the local Al-Azal television channel said, amid spiralling sectarian clashes.
At least 55 people were killed in the attacks on the Badr and al-Hashoosh mosques, Agence France-Presse reported, citing emergency services. The mosques are controlled by the Shiite Houthi group that seized the capital in September after consolidating their grip on the north of the country.
The attack came one day after President Abdurabuh Mansur Hadi was evacuated from his palace in Aden during intense gun battles between his fighters and rival troops loyal to Yemen’s former President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The fighting in the southern city, which marked a major escalation in the country’s conflict, left at least 15 dead.
