Yemen: Governor, 5 bodyguards killed; ISIS claims responsibility

The governor of a major Yemeni city and five bodyguards were killed in a car bombing Sunday -- an attack ISIS said it committed.

Gov. Jaafar Saad was at the branch of the Ministry of Telecommunication in the

southern city of Aden when the blast occurred, local officials said.

ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, according to a statement attributed to the group circulated on social media.

It's the latest bout of chaos in a country grappling not only with ISIS but also al Qaeda, Houthi rebels and a president's ouster.
