A Yemeni Shi’ite rebel leader on Tuesday denied government claims that the sect’s insurgents want to set up a Shi’ite state in north Yemen.
About 15 people were killed and over 60 were wounded when a bomb hidden in a motorcycle exploded outside a mosque in Yemen’s volatile northern city of Saada on Friday, a security source said. The blast happened as worshippers, including army officers, were leaving the Salman Mosque after Friday prayers, officials and security sources said.
