Yemen: Bombing Kills Members of Saudi-Backed Armed Group

Five people were killed and three injured when a booby-trapped car exploded near a convoy of an armed group supported by Saudi Arabia in Yemen. The attack took place near the interim capital Aden and targeted Brigadier Hamdi Soukri, commander of the Second Brigade of the Giants. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, which comes at a time of increased unrest in southern Yemen. The Saudi-led military coalition and the US embassy in Yemen condemned the attack.
