Yemen suicide blast kills dozens including 15 schoolchildren

The Guardian, Tuesday 16 December 2014 18.42 GMT
Fifteen children on a schoolbus were among at least 25 people killed in a suicide car bomb attack in central Yemen targeting a Shia militia leader, security sources have said.
The children were killed when their bus was caught up in the attack targeting the home of a leader of the Shia militia, known as Huthis, in the town of Rada, a security source said, blaming the attack on al-Qaida militants.
A medical source confirmed that at least 25 people had died in the attack on Tuesday.
The defence ministry, on its website 26sep.net, condemned “this cowardly terrorist attack on the home of a citizen and a schoolbus”, and also held al-Qaida responsible.
