A suicide bomber murdered 90 Yemeni soldiers today at a military parade in Sanaa. The massive blast also wounded about 200 people.
Here is video of the aftermath.

Euronews reported:
A suicide bomber with explosives strapped under his uniform killed more than 90 people at a military parade rehearsal in the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Monday, an attack which will alarm Washington as its involvement in the front-line state deepens.
The bombing also wounded about 200 people, officials said, making it the bloodiest single incident in the city in recent years.
Yemen’s defence minister and chief of staff were both present at the rehearsal for Tuesday’s National Day parade but neither was hurt. A police source said he could not rule out the bombing was an attempt to assassinate them.
Weakened by an uprising that eventually toppled former leader Ali Abdullah Saleh, Yemen’s government has lost control over whole swathes of the country, allowing militants to overrun several towns in the southern province of Abyan.
The attack, along with an ambush on Sunday on a U.S. military training team, indicated their campaign could be entering a dangerous new stage.
The United States sees Yemen as a vital front in its global war on Islamic militants and is increasing its military support for the government of President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
The situation in Yemen has continued to deteriorate over the last three years and since the revolution last year. In January Al-Qaeda seized a town south of the capital and liberated 150 prisoners.

“an attack which will alarm Washington”
A bold prediction given this administration’s history.

His Highness could give a damn. Just more chaos and confusion in the powder keg of the ME. Sure, why not? Make it sound good and call for elections, have the MB move in and get the majority of the seats in government. Suspend all future elections due to some crisis or another and then, voila, authoritarian rule. Barry the bolshevik is got through that pesky initial election. Trying to stay in power without another election is the tricky part……………

A soldier’s choice: Death or prison
[Stealing another glance at the Carnahans, I remember the flutters in the news in 2009 about a possible pardon for Evan from outgoing President George W. Bush. Then nothing. Which was unpardonable -- Bush, that is, for not pardoning Evan and the other soldiers, now prisoners, whom he'd sent to wage war with a straitjacket of rules for armor against an army without uniforms on a battlefield without lines.
And so, the Leavenworth Ten sit in prison: Michael Behenna, Corey Clagett, John Hatley, William Hunsaker, Larry Hutchins, Michael Leahy, Joseph Mayo, Michael Williams, Evan Vela.
Memorial Day -- the day we mourn our war dead -- is coming.
President Obama, give these men another chance at life. Pardon them.]
i hope and pray to God there was a good reason Bush did nothing, as
it by no means sounds like something Bush would allow to happen..
perhaps Obama will pardon them in an attempt to score more
votes, and imho, that too is something to hope and pray for..
