IS: We bombed Yemen mosques

Suicide bombers in the Yemeni capital Sanaa blew themselves up during Friday prayers at two mosques used by supporters of Shi’ite rebels, killing 142 people and wounding 260 in the country’s deadliest militant attack in years.

Islamic State, an al Qaeda offshoot that has seized large areas of Iraq and Syria, claimed responsibility for the attacks, in which four bombers wearing explosive belts targeted worshippers in and outside the crowded mosques.

The Sanaa bombings happened as unidentified warplanes attacked the presidential palace in the southern city of Aden for the second day.
