| [YEMENONLINE.INFO] A kaboom in the governor's compound in the southern Yemeni port city of Aden on Thursday killed four people, security officials said. The governor and other officials who were present at the time were not hurt in the apparent liquidation attempt. The developments came as Iranian catspaws known as Houthis launched new attacks, after weeks of retreating as pro-government troops pushed north out of Aden. Yemen's fighting, which escalated in March, pits the Houthis and troops loyal to former President President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh ... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it... against southern separatists, local and tribal militias, Sunni Islamic gunnies and troops loyal to President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. Thursday's kaboom in Gov. Nayef al-Bakry's office also maimed 10 people, local police officials said. Al-Bakry, who oversees the Aden governorate, was in the building at the time, meeting with high-profile military and security officials. No one grabbed credit for the attack and authorities were investigating, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... under regulations. |
