Several slain as 4 car bombs target 3 mosques in Sanaa


(MENAFN- Arab News) SANAA/GENEVA: Four car bombs hit three mosques and the political headquarters of the Houthi movement in the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Wednesday a security official said killing and wounding dozens of people.
The blasts came as Saudi-led forces conducted more airstrikes against Houthi military sites across Yemen.
'Four car bombs targeted the political bureau of Houthis the Hashush mosque in the Jiraf district the Kibsi mosque in the Zira district and the Qubat Al-Khadra mosque causing the killing and injury of dozens' the official told Reuters.
Earlier on Wednesday Houthi fighters in central Yemen blew up the home of a senior politician Abdel-Aziz Jubari while he was attending the Geneva talks.
Residents of Dhamar city said the Houthis who had taken over Jubari's house in April dynamited the building early in the morning. Yemeni websites published picture of its collapsed ceiling on top of a pile of rubble.
Jubari who is deputy head of the delegation sent to Geneva by President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi said he was shocked when he heard the news.
'This is regrettable that people's manners and behaviors can reach this point' Jubari told Reuters in Geneva. 'Of course my house is not the only house in Yemen ... A lot of people's homes and properties have been targeted in an unbelievable way.'
Jubari the head of the government delegation said: 'It is in this spirit of revenge that they are dealing with all the Yemeni people and we cannot remain silent on this.'
The latest air raids by the Saudi-led alliance focused on army bases in Sanaa and Houthi targets in Yemen's central desert and the mountainous province of Mahweet one of the last provinces in Yemen not to be bombed since the campaign began.
