A suicide bomber blew himself up at the entrance of a police academy in the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Wednesday, killing 20 people and wounding dozens more.
“The suicide bomber blew himself up at the police academy in Sanaa and killed at least 20 people and wounded dozens,” a security official who claimed anonymity said.
He added that most of the casualties were police cadets who were leaving the academy for the weekend.
Wednesday’s blast is the second deadliest in the capital since President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi took power in February and pledged to destroy Al-Qaeda’s presence in the country.
