الأربعاء 2nd, Two Suicide attacks targeted Al Muayed mosque in Al Jiraf neighborhood
north Yemen’s capital resulted in killing and wounding dozens.
A suicide bomber and a subsequent car bomb killed at least 20 people at a mosque in Sanaa.
Medical officials said the suicide bomber blew himself up inside the mosque during the
evening call to prayers, while the car bomb exploded outside an entrance, ” the death toll
may rise with people now in operating rooms in several hospitals”.
Witnesses said the car bomb exploded while people were carrying out the wounded from
inside the mosque, adding to the casualties.
One witness, Hamid Ali, said the explosions left body parts and bloodied floors in the
mosque frequented by both Sunni and Shiite Muslims. Wounded pleaded for help.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the blast in the capital, though an affiliate of
the extremist Islamic State group has carried out similar bombings in Sana’a this year.
