[Pak Daily Times] A suicide kaboom rocked a market in Yemen's mainly Shia northern city of Saada on Wednesday, killing a civilian, a rebel group said. The attacker, riding a cycle of violence, "went
kaboom!at the entrance of the market where there were many passersby... One civilian was martyred," the Ansaruallah (Supporters of God) rebel group said on its website.
A rebel earlier told AFP the bomber had set off his charge in the middle of the market, but the statement said he had been unable to enter and so had blown himself up at the entrance.
The defence ministry said two people had been killed and 11 others maimed, without saying who the dead were. The rebels belong to the Zaidi sect of Shia Islam and have controlled the northern part of Yemen since a 2004 uprising they launched against the central government. Intermittent fighting killed thousands of people before a ceasefire was reached in February 2010.
