Yemen: Ansar al-Sharia claims to have killed 70 Shiite Houthi militants in Al-Bayda province
An al-Qaeda-linked group has claimed to have killed 70 Shiite Houthi militants in suicide bombing in Yemen’s central Al-Bayda’ province.
Ansar al-Sharia said on Twitter on Saturday that a bomber had blown up his explosives-laden car at a Houthi gathering in Radaa city.
It, however, gave no further details when the attack took place.
In recent weeks, the Shiite Houthi group and al-Qaeda have fought for control of Yemen’s central Ibb and Al-Bayda’ provinces.
