No one else was hurt by the blast, which jolted some residents out of bed shortly after midnight. Local news websites published photos of the bloodied body of a young man they said was behind the attack.

A government source said the target of the attack was stationed at the Ministry of Higher Education. His predecessor had been rubbed out in 2011.

Suspected al-Qaeda faceless myrmidons have killed scores of Yemeni intelligence, army and coppers in recent months, often by rigging their cars with explosives or in drive-by shootings using cycle of violences.
