WASHINGTON — The White House said Friday there's no indication the Islamic State group had any operational link to a string of suicide bombings in Yemen that killed at least 137 people.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the U.S. is still investigating the claim of responsibility by the Yemeni branch of Islamic State. He said the U.S. is looking to see whether IS has a command-and-control structure that would enable it to co-ordinate the attack.
But Earnest also said IS often claims responsibility for attacks purely for propaganda value. Still, he said the attack shows that everyone in the region — including Muslims — is in danger from IS.
Earnest said there's also no clear evidence backing up the IS claim of responsibility for another deadly attack in Tunisia this week.
Bernadette Meehan, a spokeswoman for the White House's National Security Council, said the U.S condemns the attacks and also condemns airstrikes Thursday that targeted Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi. The airstrikes by forces loyal to Yemen's former president missed his palace and Hadi was unharmed.
Meehan said the U.S. is calling on all sides in Yemen to return to political talks to resolve differences. She said all of Yemen's diverse communities must take part in a peaceful democratic process.
Administration: "No sign that Islamic State did it."
(Someone shows them proof otherwise)
Adminstration: "Ok, but the Islamic State is not islamic."
(Someone shows them proof they worship Allah and read the Koran exclusively)
Administration: "Ok, but there is no proof that there is anyone dead in Yemen."
(Someone shows them 137 corpses)
Administration: "There is no such nation as Yemen."
(Someone shows them a map.)
Administration:
Damn Bitter Clingers......
And Congress approves.
You know how you can tell when Obama is lying?
Josh Earnest’s lips are moving.
No, he thinks it is Zionist Jews with sponsorship from Mossad, but he won’t say it in public, only on Hillary’s Private Server does he express these thoughts.
Big Daddy - What’s that smell in this room? Didn’t you notice it? Didn’t you notice a powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity in this room? There ain’t nothin’ more powerful than the odor of mendacity... You can smell it. It smells like death.
Bismarck, Otto von - “Nothing is proven until it is officially denied.”

Associate suicide bombings with isLAM? ?? Of course not....
Every day Obama sounds more and more like not just a Muslim, but a jihadi Muslim.
Why is it, it seems, only Sunnis commit atrocities? Do Shiites not get any virgins?
This was obviously the work of teens
And we have no illegal aliens being brought across the borders nor are there any Muslim Brotherhood members that were appointed by Obama to work in key national security positions for the WH or the administration...
Don’t forget federal judges in Texas!
Yeah, a YouTube video caused it. Sarcasm.
News reports say that ISIS has already claimed responsibility of the attacks in Yemen
Secular US Jews.
lying bastards/
Obammy, is anything about you real?
“This was obviously the work of teens”
that were turning their lives around.
There’s every indication that the White Hut (starting in the Oval Orifice) and the White Hut Annex is larded with Muslim terrorist sycophants!
Impeach the biggest enemy of America; OBAMA.
