The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for deadly attacks Tuesday on the government headquarters and positions of the Saudi-led coalition in the Yemeni city of Aden.
In a statement posted online, the Sunni extremist group said it carried out four suicide bombings against the targets, but contradicted accounts from officials that the attacks involved rockets fired by Iran-backed Shiite rebels. IS said in a statement released on twitter. “In a blessed operation facilitated by God, four martyrdom operations targeted a gathering of Saudi, Emirati and Yemeni officers,” the statement said.
