Comment: This from the report of the bombing on this site earlier

A tribal chief blamed Al-Qaeda for the attack but rebel spokesman Mohammed Abdulsalam told AFP that [the attack was an attempt by] "American and Israeli intelligence services to plunge Yemen into confessional and tribal conflict."

The tribal chief sounded just like the Shiite Iranians who blame everything bad on the Americans and Zionists (Jews).

Yet another unsurprising news.
