A car bomb targeting the governor's convoy shook Yemen's southern port city of Aden on Sunday killing at least four people, a Reuters witness and a security source said.
ReplyDeleteGovernor Ahmed Lamlas and agriculture minister Salem al-Suqatri survived the blast but at least four people were killed, the security source said. A Reuters witness saw two charred bodies at the scene.
Lamlas is secretary-general of the Southern Transitional Council (STC), the main separatist group that has vied with the Saudi-backed government for control of Aden and Yemen's wider south.
Suqatri is also a member of the United Arab Emirates-backed STC, which has also seen infighting among its ranks.
