Motorbike bomb kills two al Qaeda militants

Two Al Qaeda militants were killed in the Yemeni port city of Aden after a bomb they were carrying on board a motorbike went off prematurely.

The group confirmed the botched attack, saying the two fighters were 'martyred' before they reached the headquarters of the paramilitary police.

There were no other reported injuries. Al Qaeda linked militants have often used motorbikes for armed attacks on military checkpoints.
