Yemen Bombing Injures Three Militiamen as Rebel Takeover Raises Tensions
Three militiamen were injured as tensions rise following the takeover of Yemen`s government by rebels.
Three Yemeni Shia militiamen were injured after an improvised bomb blew up outside of Yemen`s republican palace in the country`s capital, Sanaa, Reuters reports.

According to the agency, no group claimed responsibility, but al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula have previously clashed with the Houthi rebels. The explosion follows an incident earlier on Saturday, when the militiamen fired into the air to disperse a protest near Sanaa`s main university.

On Friday, the Shia Houthi rebel movement declared the dissolution of parliament and installation of new assembly.
