The governor of the Yemeni city of Aden survived suicide car bombing that struck his convoy on Friday (July 15th), AFP reported.
Aidarus al-Zubaidi escaped unharmed after the attack in the Inmaa district, but three of his companions were wounded, a security official said.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, but the official blamed al-Qaeda.
Zubaidi's predecessor Jaafar Saad was killed in December in a car bomb claimed by the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (ISIL).
In February, suspected al-Qaeda gunmen opened fire on a convoy carrying al-Zubaidi and Aden police chief General Shallal Shayae. Both escaped unharmed. The two also survived a car bombing that targeted their convoy in Aden on January 5th, killing two of their bodyguards.
