A bombing killed dozens of people at the police academy in Yemen’s capital today, targeting Houthi Shiite rebels seeking to consolidate their power in the nation.
Yemen’s Interior Ministry said at least 35 people were killed and 68 injured in the bombing in Sana’a. About 300 students were at the academy, according to a security official, who asked not to be identified because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. The final death toll is still being determined.
