Yemen officials said the governor of Aden, Yemen was killed along with his five bodyguards when a car bomb detonated Sunday morning. Governor Jaafar Saad was visiting a branch of the Ministry of Telecommunication in the southern port city when the blast occurred. Initially, reports disclosed the attack was from a suicide bomber that drove an explosives-laden vehicle into Saad’s car, but later said the blast was the result of a car bomb. Aden has been functioning as the de facto capital of the government of Saudi-backed President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi. Hadi was ousted from the capital in March by Shiite Houthi rebels. There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack. Parts of Aden are under the control of al-Qaeda.
