A television network owned by Yemen's Shiite rebels says a total of 137 people were killed and 345 injured in quadruple suicide bombings that hit a pair of mosques controlled by the rebels in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital.

Al-Masirah TV raised the death toll on Friday hours after the attacks, making it the deadliest violence to hit the fragile war-torn country.

So the Rebels own tv station says this. Okay, we’ll wait for other sources at that. Sunnis or Wahhabists, some sorts of radicals I’m sure carried out the attack vs. the Shias.

Wait a minute, is this the Shia blowing up the Sunnis or vice versa? Hard to keep up without a scorecard.

Fox, 46 confirmed killed, still, with the wounded, feet and arms blown off, head injuries, this is like the Boston Marathon times 100.

I’m surprised there was not more of a security mechanism in place like Nigeria, I’ll bet ISIS is getting whipped in Iraq, so they felt they needed to strike elsewhere.

Muslims vs Muslims. Let’s stay out of it.

Both sides need much foreign aid, in the form of weaponry.

A group claiming to be a Yemeni branch of the Islamic State group...posted an online statement saying that five suicide bombers carried out what it described as a "blessed operation" against the "dens of the Shiites."

People's Front of Judaea versus the Judaean People's Front. A feller's gotta have a program to keep 'em straight.

I find it hard to be too torn up about this. The more dead muzzies, the safer the world gets.

Indeed. They should really up their game and give it a go during the hajj.

They reproduce faster than they can blow each other up.
This could go on for a few more millenia

*Muslims vs Muslims. Let’s stay out of it.*

Not only did Our Founders give us this great Constitution but I have read many of G. Washington speeches and he warned us to stay out of foreign affairs.

But we did not do that. Think about the beauty, up until now, of the geographics of where we are.

Isolation would have been ideal owing to the universal hostility of our less advanced neighbors. The idea then might be to send ambassadors out to these primitive areas to teach them but never to mix because the whole world could lose. Look at what is happening with our borders, with ISIS and related. We would have been safer. I know the exact opposite is happening quickened by OPUKE. I know this is not possible today but I dream of it. It would keep America safe. SHUT IT DOWN. Thank you

Wait a minute, I thought mosques were out of bound from military attacks or even surveillance, and this happened on a Friday - their day of prayer!

If there are no Infidels handy to kill, they'll kill each other. It is just in their blood. Throw a fence around the Islamic world and give them a few generations.

And I thought the squabbles over Protestant vs. Catholic and Republican vs. Democrat around our Thanksgiving table growing up were bad! I guess a good pumpkin pie with ice cream is the solution... /sarc

Obama is trying to get them bigger bombs. Nuclear weapons for the Shiites in Iran. Then the Saud’s will simply buy nukes from the Pakistanis.
