Suicide bombers die in Aden blast

Yemeni defence ministry says two men killed in blast planned to attack security services building in southern city.


Two suspected suicide bombers have died in an explosion outside an intelligence building in the southern Yemeni city of Aden, according to the country's defence ministry.

The men killed in Friday's blast in the al-Mansoura district were suspected of having links to al Qaeda, the defence ministry said on its website.

"Two suicide bombers belonging to the Al-Qaeda terrorist network were killed when their motorbike exploded... early on Friday in al-Mansoura," it said, adding that the intended target of the attack was a branch of the political security services.

"The bomb-laden motorbike exploded with the two suicide bombers whose bodies were left in pieces before they managed to carry out their suicide attack that targetted a branch of the political security services in Mansura," the website quoted a security official as saying.

No other casualties were reported.
