Yemeni Mosque Bombing Kills 20

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

A suicide bomber who was claimed by ISIS and a car bomb have killed 20 people in Yemen’s capital city.

The suicide bomber detonated at the mosque in Sanaa during the evening call to prayer.  The car bomb exploded outside the entrance of the mosque as the victims of the first bombing were being carried outside to emergency personnel.

A message on social media from ISIS claimed the attacks.

Yemen has been embroiled in a civil war since a rebel group loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh captured the capital city.  The rebels have been the subject of Saudi Arabian led and U.S. backed air strikes.

The violence is also starting to be aimed at relief workers and those trying to help the victimized civilian population.

Two Red Cross members were gunned down in the Yemeni province of Amran by an attacker on Wednesday.

“Two of our colleagues were shot and killed in their car …as they were traveling back from Saada to Sanaa,” spokesman Adnan Hizam said from the Yemeni capital.

The Red Cross had stopped work in the southern city of Aden after gunmen stormed their offices.
