Senior pro Hadi commander survives bombing in Aden
(MENAFN- Arab News) ADEN: A senior pro-Hadi commander survived a car bombing in second city Aden on Thursday that left one of his bodyguards dead a military official told AFP.
Gen. Ahmed Saif Al-Yafie commander of the Fourth Military Region escaped unharmed when an explosive device planted in his vehicle blew up killing a bodyguard the source said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack and the military official did not blame any group for the bombing.
Aden declared by the government as Yemen's temporary capital has been the scene of growing unrest as Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula long active in Yemen and the newly emerged Daesh group appear to be vying for influence in the port city.
It was rocked by months of fighting this year between pro-government forces and Iran-backed rebels who seized the capital Sanaa in September 2014 before expanding south.
Hadi loyalists have regained control of Aden and four nearby provinces in the south since July.
On Thursday radical militants shut down the faculty of engineering at the University of Aden for the second time in a week and also kidnapped its dean Saleh Mubarak students said. On Tuesday gunmen locked down the faculties of administrative sciences law and engineering.
