A Yemeni man was killed and three other people, including a Somali, were wounded when a bomb went off in a southern neighborhood of Sanaa. "Ahmad Saleh, a Yemeni national, was killed when a bomb went off, and three other people, two Yemenis and a Somali, were injured," a police official told AFP at the site of the blast. The explosion occurred at around 1:00 p.m. in the al-Safia neighborhood. One of the injured Yemenis was "in critical condition," the police official said. A relative of Saleh told AFP he did "not rule out" the possibility that the man was killed while "handling" the bomb. "Godammit, I told him to put that damned cigar out when he was setting the detonators!" |
