Yemen: Islamic jihadists murder 15 children in car bomb attacks

Dec 20, 2014 4:35 pm By Robert Spencer

yemen car bombThis bomb may have been intended to murder Shi’ites, as it went off near a “checkpoint manned by Shia Houthi rebels.” “Yemen car bomb attacks ‘kill 15 children,'” BBC, December 20, 2014:

At least 25 people, among them 15 children, have been killed in twin car bomb attack in the central Yemeni province of Bayda, reports say.

The children were inside a school bus that was passing a checkpoint manned by Shia Houthi rebels in the Radaa area when the first bomb exploded.

The second one went off soon afterwards near the home of a Houthi leader.

The rebels blamed Sunni jihadist militants from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) for the blasts.

They have been fighting in Radaa since the Houthis overran the AQAP stronghold in October, a month after taking control of the capital, Sanaa.
‘Ugliest crime’

It is not clear if the school bus or the Houthi checkpoint was the intended target of the first car bombing.

The Associated Press news agency quoted the Houthis as saying the victims were all girls who had attended a local primary school….

    Maybe Pres. Obama will visit Fidel Castro in order that the news media won’t ask him any questions about this face of Islam either.

    It’s ironic that the Houthis claim they are fighting for Islam yet I never heard of them killing a single infidel, they are loyal dogs living only to serve their American masters, of course their atrocities towards the Sunnis is never mentioned in jihadwatch, it’s clear that the children’s death was unintentional and perhaps exaggerated just so they can make the filthy Houthis’ cause stronger, however I’m still wary of AQAP since most of them are still loyal to Ayamn al-Zawahiri and it looks like they want money and fame more than they want a caliphate

      It’s also ironic that ISIL claims it’s fighting for Islam yet I never heard of them killing a single jew. How islamic is that!!! They don’t even dare approach Israel’s borders.
      All the ISIL dogs are able to do is to kill unarmed civilians.
      COWARDS, just like prophet.

        Many Christians have been killed though, including those of the area where Aramaic (the language of Jesus) is still spoken.

      At last an open admission from the horses mouth (not the flying horse/donkey though) that the priority of Islam is to kill the infidel. How pleasant from the religion of peace!
      As to JW never mentioning the atrocities towards the Sunnis? Funny that. I could swear that at least once Shia/Sunni, Sunni/Shia genocide has been mentioned. And celebrated!
      Such a shame about the Sunnis….boo hoo!
      Such a shame about the Shi’ites….boo hoo! and all the other sects of the Demonic Cult called Islam.

    From the number of dead women and children one might deduce that some Islamic men,particularly the ones from the west who go to fight in Jihads : Are suffering from a Crises In Manliness .In other words they are such spineless incompetent losers who are unable to acquire women through the normal means of Chivalry and Normal Manliness . They have to go somewhere where they can force women as young as 9 years old to be sex slaves because any normal women under normal circumstances wouldn’t have anything to do with such pathetic losers.I.E. they would rather suffer the agony of beheading than be violated by these pathetic losers. Bullies tend to be weak people who compensate by dominating those weaker than themselves. Thus for a man to bully women and children is an evidence of weakness; then to justify it in the name of God reveals a man to be very Effeminate . Real men protect the weak i.e. women and children , this is what God really Honors!

      “…then to justify it in the name of God reveals a man to be very Effeminate.”

      You’ve just described, not only Muhammad’s followers, but also Muhammad himself.
      EFFEMINATE. A very appropriate word indeed.

    Muslim will always kill Muslims and non-Muslims. Their Mohammad has taught them to settle all issues with the sword.

    There is nothing to do with America or any other country but everything to with with Islam and its teachings – anyone who is an opposition to you does not deserve to be alive. This is Islam’s primary teaching. This is the reason why it is so common for wars to occur in Muslim countries.
