Bombs kill 37 Yemen police in former Al-Qaeda bastion

---

ADEN: A suicide bombing claimed by the Daesh group and a second attack killed 37 police on Sunday in the Yemeni port of Mukalla where a year of Al-Qaeda rule was ended just last month, medics said.

It was the second attack in days claimed by Daesh in the city of 200,000 people which was recaptured by government forces from the rival extremist group Al-Qaeda with US backing.

The suicide bomber killed at least 31 police recruits on the southwestern outskirts of the city, which is the capital of Hadramawt province, medics said.

The bomber detonated an explosives belt as he joined a line of men at a police recruitment center, a provincial official said.

media sources. Another Saudi (shhhhh) atrocity using the weapons it got through the Clinton Foundation. Many, many war crimes reported by HRW, many thousands of children suffering and starving - up to 80% hunger. Horrific intentional bombing of schools, hospitals - blocking food aid from getting in, etc, etc. I guess getting into it too deeply might be damaging for some though.
