On Thursday, two separate suicide bombing attacks targeting Yemen's powerful Shi'ite Houthi group and an army camp left over 50 deaths. The blast occurred hours after a political crisis forced the new prime minister to resign.

According to Reuters, the two suicide bombings in Yemen had killed at least 67 people; the first killing at least 47 which included four children while the eastern Yemen blast killed at least 20 soldiers. The first explosion happened when a suicide bomber set off a belt packed with explosives at a Houthi checkpoint in the center of the Sana'a where Houthi supporters were preparing to hold a demonstration.

The Guardian reported that the suicide bombing blast ripped through Tahrir Square on Thursday morning, killing dozens of supporters of the Houthi crusade that controls the Yemeni capital and sparking dreads of more violence between the Shia group and radical Sunni Islamists.  

The blast highlighted the rising political and security concerns after the Houthis have risen as Yemen's prime power brokers since their paramilitary forces apprehended the capital on Sept. 21, after weeks of anti-government rallies and shortly before a peace treaty was signed between the group and the government.

The suicide bombing attack created a gory scene across Tahrir Square. Pools of blood formed on the asphalt while body parts scattered after the blast. Yemen's health ministry estimated that the attack left at least 67 deaths and 75 wounded, with the death toll likely to rise due to a number of survivors that were seriously injured.  

Analysts and government officials believe that the suicide bombing was orchestrated by al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which had seized a main military compound in Sana'a in December 2013. In recent months, AQAP has conducted repeated attacks on army installations and government facilities.

On a separate attack in eastern Yemen, state news agency SABA reported that at least 20 soldiers were killed in a suicide car bombing assault on an army outpost.

Last month, al-Qaida in the Arab Peninsula declared war on the Houthis, whose platform includes the restoration of Shia Islam's Zaydi form, which was largely unique to the north of Yemen. Meanwhile, the Houthis have also guaranteed to eliminate their Sunni opponents, but they have blamed Washington for the Tahrir suicide bombing, claiming that the attack was part of an operation of weakening foreign intervention in the country.

Because of the suicide bombing, a Yemeni official said that violence will be expected to intensify and more blood will be spilled.

The suicide bombing in Yemen was the latest in a string of AQAP attacks in recent weeks, and many in Tahrir dread that it will open the floodgates for extensive fight as the Houthis publicly swore to assault the group in its southern strongholds.
