An Islamic State (ISIS) group militant rammed his explosives-laden car into an Army recruiting centre in Aden on Monday, killing 71 people in the deadliest jehadis attack on the Yemeni city in over a year.
The Army, supported by a Saudi-led coalition, is training young recruits to join its nationwide war against Shiite Huthi rebels and their allies, as well as Sunni jehadis.
Aden is the temporary base of Yemen’s internationally recognised Government, which was forced into exile after Iran-backed insurgents seized Sanaa and other parts of the war-torn country. Security officials said the attacker drove the car bomb into a gathering of recruits at a school in the north of port city.
