25 killed in Yemen car bomb blast
A car bomb outside the gate of a presidential compound in a southern Yemeni city killed at least 25 people, a health official said, hours after the country’s new president was formally inaugurated and vowed to fight al-Qaida.
A security official said it was a suicide blast, and that it bore the hallmarks of an operation by the militant group. He did not provide a death toll. Both al Qaida and southern separatists are active in the region.
