Suicide Bombing Kills 4 In Yemen's Aden
2016-03-01
[An Nahar] A suicide boom-mobileing killed four people Monday when it hit a gathering of loyalist forces in Yemen's Aden, the southern city serving as a government base, a security official said.

Five others were maimed in the attack in the residential Sheikh Othman district, the official said.

The jacket wallah rammed his explosives-laden vehicle into an area where security forces and pro-government gunnies had assembled, the official said.

President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi has declared Aden as Yemen's temporary capital as Sanaa remains in the hands of the Iran-backed Houthis and their allies since they seized it in September 2014.

Al-Qaeda and 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....
group have stepped up attacks in Aden despite the efforts of the government and its backers in a Saudi-led coalition battling the Huthis and their allies to secure it.

The rebels controlled Aden for months before government loyalists pushed them out in July.
