Yemen: Car bomb targeting security official leaves 6 dead in Aden

A car bomb targeting a top provincial security official in the southern Yemen city of Aden killed at least six people Wednesday and wounded eight others, Yemeni officials said.

A car carrying explosives detonated while the convoy of a security official from a neighboring province was driving by, the officials said. Three of his guards were wounded in the explosion.

The officials said two security personnel died later from their wounds, bringing the death toll to at least six people, including four civilians.
