Yemen suicide bomber kills 30 in Abyan

A suspected suicide bomber has struck a village in the southern Yemeni province of Abyan, killing more than 30 people. Yemeni officials said that dozens more were wounded in the attack on a funeral service in the city of Jaar. They said five suspected al-Qaeda militants had been killed earlier in the day. The men were killed in a suspected US drone strike on their vehicle in Hadramawt province. Separatist unrest and al-Qaeda-linked militants such as Ansar al-Sharia have plagued the south for years.
