Suicide bomber from ISIS kills 54 military recruits
A suicide car bombing claimed by the Islamic State in Yemen's southern city of Aden on Monday killed at least 54 military recruits, officials said. The director of Aden's Health Ministry, Khidra Lasour, said almost 70 people were wounded, including 30 seriously, and were being treated in area hospitals. The Islamic State, through its Amaq News Agency, called the attack a "martyrdom operation." The group and the Yemeni branch of al-Qaida have exploited the chaos of the country's long-running civil war to exercise control in certain areas, especially in the south.
