28 dead in attack on Houthi funeral in Yemen claimed by ISIS
Published in Albawaba on 30 - 06 - 2015

ISIS claimed an attack on two Houthi rebel leaders in Sanaa Monday night that medics said had killed at least 28 people, including eight women.
The car bomb attack targeted Houthi rebel chief brothers Faycal and Hamid Jayache during a gathering to mourn the death of a family member, a security source said.
Houthi rebels closed down the surrounding area in the center of the city after the attack, only allowing through emergency services to help evacuate the victims, witnesses said.
In a statement posted online, ISIS said it had organized the attack on what it called a "Shiite nest" in the Yemeni capital.
The extremist Sunni jihadi group considers Shiites as heretics and has frequently targeted them in attacks in several countries.
The last of these, a suicide bombing by a Saudi national Friday in a Shiite mosque in Kuwait, killed 26 people and wounded 227 others.
ISIS has also claimed a car bombing on June 20 against a Shiite mosque in Sanaa that killed two and wounded 16 and another series of attacks in the Yemeni capital four days earlier that killed 31.
The jihadi group, which marked the first anniversary of the declaration of its "caliphate" in Iraq and Syria Monday, has been ramping up deadly attacks in Yemen since March.
Iran-backed Houthi rebels have seized vast swathes of Yemen since launching an offensive in July 2014, forcing President Abed Rabbou Mansour Hadi to flee the country.
Neither peace talks in Geneva or a Saudi-led air campaign begun in March have driven them from power and they remain locked in battle with pro-government fighters, Sunni tribesmen and southern separatists.
Yemen's official Saba news agency, which is controlled by the Houthis, reported early Tuesday that the rebels had launched a scud missile at the Al-Salil military base, near the Saudi capital Riyadh.
"The missile is in response to the aggression of Saudi Arabia, which is increasing its criminal air raids against our country," Saba reported, citing a military spokesman.
"This is another message to the forces of oppression," he added, promising "new surprises in the coming days."
Saudi Arabia did not immediately confirm or deny the missile attack.
