Bombs at mosque in Yemen's capital kill at least 20 people

SANAA, Yemen — Medical officials say at least 20 people have been killed by two bombs that blew up at a mosque in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.

Police officials said a suicide bomber blew himself up Wednesday inside the mosque during the evening call to prayers, while a car bomb exploded outside the mosque's door. Medical officials said the death toll may rise with people now in operating rooms in several hospitals.

Witnesses said the car bomb exploded while people were carrying out the wounded from inside the mosque.

Hamid Ali, a witness at the scene, said the explosion left body parts and bloodied floors in the mosque frequented by both Sunni and Shiite Muslims.

The bombing comes during Yemen's raging civil war.
