Sanaa, July 11 (Reuters): A suicide bomber killed at least 22 people outside a police academy in the Yemeni capital Sanaa today, dramatically exposing the government’s vulnerability to al Qaida-linked insurgents despite a US-backed offensive against them.
Policeman Fadel Ali told Reuters police cadets were leaving the academy when the bomber attacked: “We ran to the place and found dozens of cadets covered in blood. Blood was everywhere.” Parts of the cadets’ khaki uniforms were scattered across the dirt outside the academy, and blood spattered the walls.
Unusually, the suicide bomber did not die immediately but was evacuated to hospital by medical staff.
