Two suicide bombers blow selves to bits in Yemen
2012-04-06
Yemen's defense ministry reports that two suspected suicide bombers have died in an explosion outside an intelligence building in the southern city of Aden. The men killed in Friday's blast in the al-Mansoura district were believed to have links to al Qaeda.

"Two suicide bombers belonging to the Al-Qaeda terrorist network were killed when their motorbike exploded... early on Friday in al-Mansoura," the defense ministry website said, adding that the intended target of the attack was a branch of the political security services.

A security official was quoted as saying, "The bomb-laden motorbike exploded with the two suicide bombers whose bodies were left in pieces before they managed to carry out their suicide attack that targetted a branch of the political security services in Mansura."

Security services had identified one of the two bombers as Fawaz al-Subaihi, who lived in the neighborhood where the attack took place. An investigation is currently working to identify the body of the second attacker, which was said to have been ripped to shreds.

A witness said Subaihi owned an area shop and "has no links to Al-Qaeda". The witness, who identified Subaihi by his remains, said the second attacker's body had been "torn to pieces".

#1  They should tie these body parts together and hang 'em from poles in the public square as an object lesson. While the stink might be offensive in a lot of places I'm not sure it would be noticable there.
