Aden: Troops killed in attack on government security HQ
[Al Jazeera] At least 15 people have been killed in Yemen's coastal city of Aden, a local resident said, in an attack claimed by the local affiliate of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS, also known as ISIS) group.

The resident, who wished to remain anonymous, told Al Jazeera that several people died in the city's Khormaksar district on Sunday after an explosives-rigged car blew up outside the criminal investigation department (CID) building.

Armed men, some of whom were wearing military fatigues, then proceeded to storm the facility where festivities were "still ongoing," the source said.

A separate source told Al Jazeera that at least "three terrorists" entered the CID building wearing boom jackets, but said there were no reports of hostages.

"No gunfire, no kabooms, the situation is currently calm," the source said.

Also in Aden on Sunday, a boom-mobile targeted the Dar Saad-based office of Yemen's Islah (Congregation for Reform) party, the country's largest opposition group, the source said.

The building was abandoned and there were no reports casualties, the source said.

ISIS took responsibility for the attack on the CID building, according to its Amaq,website, claiming the gang killed around 50 officers.

Al Jazeera could not independently verify the claims.

Earlier on Sunday, images posted on social media showed a pitched street battle between security personnel and unknown fighters near the CID building.
Ynet has slightly different details, for what it's worth:
Masked militants set off a large car bomb outside a security headquarters in Yemen's southern port city of Aden early Sunday killing at least 17 people before storming the compound, officials said, sparking combat that continued well into the night.

Speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters, the security officials said the militants placed snipers on the roof and gunned down most of the security forces inside. The officials gave conflicting accounts of what happened next inside the building. They initially said that the militants had taken an unknown number of people hostage. Later they said that they opened cell gates and released prisoners.

Security forces backed by an Apache helicopter continued to fight for control of the installation after nightfall, chasing down militants in the surrounding structures and neighborhood. Some hostages were killed, they added, without providing specific figures. They said at least five soldiers were among the dead.

Witnesses said at least four militant snipers could be seen on the roof of the compound. They also described mayhem as dead bodies littering the compound's front courtyard couldn't be retrieved because of the continuous sniper fire. Shallal al-Shayae, the security chief, was not inside the compound at the time of the attack, the officials said.
