Yemen Car Bomb Kills 20 Children, Dozen Others
Like someone asked on my FB page after a Taliban attack on a school killed over 100 students, I'm forced to ask also, when will all these end? Hearing this kind of news just so heartbreaking!
According to CNN, two car bombs killed at least 31 people, including 20 children, in central Yemen's Radaa city when suspected al Qaeda fighters targeted another group of militants.
Senior security officials and locals say one of the car bombs struck the militant's gathering point, but the other did not make it to the target and instead blew up next to a bus that was carrying children home from school. So sad!
