ADEN, Yemen — Triple
suicide bombers hit a pair of mosques crowded with worshipers in the
Yemeni capital on Friday, killing 46 and injuring 100 others, according
to medical officials. The attackers targeted mosques controlled by
Shiite rebels in Sanaa.
A report on the
rebel-owned Al-Masirah TV channel said the bombers attacked the Badr and
al-Hashoosh mosques during midday prayers on Friday, traditionally the
most crowded time of the week. It added that hospitals were urging
citizens to donate blood.
Witnesses said that at
least two suicide bombers attacked inside the Badr mosque. One walked
inside the mosque and detonated his device, causing panic as dozens of
worshippers rushed toward the outside gates. A second suicide bomber
then attacked amid the panicked crowds trying to escape.
One witness at the
al-Hashoosh mosque, located in Sanaa's northern district, said that he
was thrown two meters away by the blast.
"The heads, legs and
arms of the dead people were scattered on the floor of the mosque,"
Mohammed al-Ansi told The Associated Press, adding, "blood is running
like a river."
