Journalist among four killed in Yemen blast

SANAA: A bomb explosion in a mainly Shiite Yemeni city on Sunday killed at least four people including a reporter and wounded 25 others.
The bombing targeted a gathering of Shiite Houthi militiamen, also known as Ansarullah, in Dhamar which the group controls, a security official said.
Saba reported that three members of the “popular committees,” a local police force created by the Huthi militia, and a reporter lost their lives in the blast. The journalist was identified as Khaled Al-Washli, who worked for the Houthi-owned Al-Masirah television channel. Al-Masirah confirmed Washli’s death on its Facebook page. Saba said that members of the popular committees discovered the bomb at one of their buildings in Dhamar but it exploded as they tried to defuse it.
