A car bomb reportedly exploded outside a Yemeni police college in Sanaa on Wednesday, killing not less than 31 people and wounding many others, an incidence coming less than a week after a devastating suicide bombing south of the capital. Reuters reports:
Yemen’s sectarian conflict has worsened since September when the Shi’ite Muslim Houthi militia seized Sanaa, in the latest upheaval following the country’s 2011 popular uprising which led to a change of government and splits in the army.
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), one of the Sunni militant group’s most active wings, had staged increasing numbers of attacks across Yemen before the Houthi advance and has carried out more bombings and shootings since.
The health ministry said 64 people were wounded by the powerful explosion which sent a large plume of smoke into the sky above a heavily congested part of the city near the central bank and defense ministry.
“The situation is catastrophic. We arrived to find bodies piled on top of each other,” a paramedic at the scene told Reuters as ambulances took casualties away. “We found the top part of one person yelling, while his bottom half was completely severed.”
