DECIMATED AND ON THE RUN: Governor of Yemen’s Aden survives ‘Qaeda’ bombing.
Aidarus al-Zubaidi escaped unharmed after the attack in the Inmaa district of Aden but three of his companions were wounded, the official said.
The port city, the temporary base of Yemen’s Saudi-backed government, has seen a wave of bombings and shootings targeting officials and security forces.
Zubaidi’s predecessor Jaafar Saad was killed in December in a car bomb claimed by the Islamic State group.
As the IRA once warned Margaret Thatcher, “We only have to be lucky once; you will have to be lucky always.”
