Three dead in Yemen boom
Three people died early Friday when an explosion rocked a Yemeni district close to a military base, according to witnesses and security officials. The witnesses, speaking on condition of anonymity, claimed the explosion was caused by a missile that exploded in the Beir Ahmed district of the southern port city of Aden at about 1.00 am local time. Witnesses told The Associated Press that three people walking in the street at the time were killed by the blast. The blast shattered windows in nearby houses and left a deep crater. It was heard across the city, the witnesses said.
Since it's on a military base, there's no telling if it was terrorism or clumsiness. The fact that it happened at 1 in the morning suggests it was Bad Guys.
