At least 30 dead in Yemen mosque bombings: witnesses

Sanaa: At least 30 people were killed Friday in triple suicide bombings that targeted mosques in the Yemeni capital, witnesses said.

One bomb exploded inside Badr mosque in southern Sanaa, and was followed by another at the gate as worshippers fled, witnesses said.

The third suicide bomber targeted Al-Hashahush mosque in northern Sanaa.

The attacks are the deadliest since a car bomb killed 40 people and wounded dozens more at a police academy in Sanaa in January as recruits lined up to register.

Yemen´s top security body blamed Al-Qaeda for that blast although a leader of the jihadist network denied responsibility.
