Mother, 3 children die after ISIS-claimed Yemen attack

A mother and three of her children have died of their wounds from a double suicide bombing in Yemen's port city of Aden, medical sources said Sunday (February 25th), raising the death toll to 12.

The family was among seven people who succumbed to wounds sustained in Saturday's attack, which was claimed by the "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS), AFP reported.

Five others, including security officers and a child, were killed on the spot when two suicide car bombings hit the headquarters of an anti-terror unit on a beach near the Tawahi district of Aden.

ISIS claimed the attack through its propaganda arm Amaq.

During the chaos in Yemen over the past few years, ISIS has repeatedly attacked Aden, where the government is based, claiming hundreds of victims and mainly targeting government forces.

A mother and three of her children died of wounds sustained in a double suicide bombing in Yemen's Aden, raising the death toll of this relentless war. The victims are always innocent people who have nothing to do with the war. The world which can stop these wars is just watching and doing nothing although it can stop the warring parties. When will the world wake up?!
