[Yemen Post] The Yemeni Police defused a 4-kg bomb at the cabinet presidency on Tuesday, shortly after the defense minister escaped a car boom that killed 12 people including 7 of his bodyguards, security officials said.

"The bomb was spotted at the main gate of the cabinet inside a medium-sized shopping bag," the sources said.

Interior minister, Abdulqadir Qahtan, said President ,Abdrabu Mansour Hadi , has formed a panel to investigate the car boom to find out whether some concerned authorities were neglectful.

In his comments to Yemen TV following the kaboom , Qahtan said defense minister, Muhammad Nasser Ahmed, survived the liquidation attempt while his convoy was leaving the weekly meeting of the cabinet.

12 people including seven of the minister's bodyguards were killed and 12 others injured, some at death's door, he said, adding some cars and houses were also affected.

The attack came a day after an Arclight airstrike killed AQAP's second-in-command, Saudi Saeed Al-Shehri.
