At Least 28 Dead, 75 Hurt in IS Suicide Blasts at Yemen Shiite Mosque
The Islamic State group claimed twin bombings of a Shiite mosque that killed at least 28 people and wounded 75 in the Yemeni capital Wednesday.
The Sunni extremist group, which has claimed similar bombings in the past, said a man named Qusai al-Sanaani blew himself inside the mosque and that a bomb-laden vehicle parked nearby subsequently exploded.
The attack was to "avenge Muslims against the Rafidah (Shiites)," said the statement on Twitter.
IS has claimed similar bombings of Shiite mosques in Sanaa.
It considers Shiites to be heretics and has also bombed their mosques in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
Witnesses earlier gave AFP a slightly different account, saying the suicide attack took place outside the mosque, after which a bomb-laden car driven by another suicide attacker exploded.
But a security official quoted sabanews.net, the website of the Shiite rebels controlling the capital, confirmed the IS account of the incident.
He also confirmed the death toll of 28 killed and 75 wounded provided by medics but said it was "not final."

were you not the one, mowaten irani, who claimed there were no civilians killed in regime strikes on Douma and they were all military and terrorists....
"_mowaten_
the source is rami abdlerahman's observatory, which has a policy of counting all non-military as civilians. so according to the SOHR, every terrorist killed is a civilian."

1- this was not about Douma
2- you answered yourself by quoting me. if you can put two neurons together you'll see the difference between what i said, and what you tried to make it sound like.

so if it were Douma and not Ghouta your filth would have been different? Filthy sectarian now go vote yourself up!

Hahaha you tosser, throwing a fit because you're unable to man up and admit your facts were wrong?
I know it's not easy for you israelis, all these Arabic names must sound the same to you but Douma is in Lebanon while Ghouta is in Syria, and that makes a big difference indeed.

you are boring mowaten irani, just simply boring with your obsessions and broken record.
" but Douma is in Lebanon while Ghouta is in Syria, and that makes a big difference indeed."

seriously, these comments reflect the level of ignorance and hatred of those who write them. Did KSA also carry out the attacks on the hospital in Aden (which is under pro coalition forces control) and the governor's office last week?

These were not worshippers but armed iranian backed terrorists using mosques as bases. There are no civilians left in Sanaa.
