1. Suicide bombers kill more than 130 people at Yemen mosques

At least two suicide bombers blew themselves up in two mosques in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa during noon prayers Friday, killing more than 130 people and wounding at least 200 more.

The attacks come as fighting has escalated at the presidential palace in Aden, targeting forces loyal to President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
