ISIS claims attack on Shiite Houthi mosque in Sanaa
ISIS has claimed a bomb attack on a Shiite Houthi mosque in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa Friday, wounding 13 people, Reuters reports.
"Members of the caliphate in Sanaa have detonated an explosive device in a Houthi mosque in the people's district...which lead to the death and injury of many of them," said ISIS in a statement on Twitter.
According to a security source in Sanaa, two out of the 13 wounded were in critical condition. The source added that the bomb was planted inside the mosque before Friday prayers.
Earlier this year, a group of Islamist fighters in Yemen renounced their loyalty to Al-Qaeda's leader and pledged allegiance to the head of ISIS.
