| 2016-05-24 |
| Twin bombings claimed by the ISIL Takfiri group targeted the Yemeni army in second city Aden Monday killing at least 41 people, most of them would-be recruits, a military official said. A suicide bomber killed 34 people queuing to enlist at a recruitment centre near the Badr base in the Khormaksar district, said Brigadier General Nasser al-Sarei, commander of special security forces. A second explosion inside the base afterwards killed seven soldiers, he said. In a statement posted online, ISIL said one of its militants detonated an explosives belt among "apostate soldiers" at a recruitment centre, followed by a bomb that exploded at the gate of the Badr base. The port city has seen a spate of attacks in recent months claimed by Al-Qaeda or its Takfiri rival ISIL. |
