Car bomb kills eight soldiers in Yemen

Sanaa: Security officials say a car bomb has killed at least eight army soldiers and wounded scores in Yemen`s coastal city of Aden.
The officials say the blast took place Sunday near the gate of an army camp as a column of vehicles packed with troops and supplies was preparing to leave for the nearby province of Abyan to take part in fighting against al Qaeda-linked militants.

The officials say al Qaeda militants were likely behind the attack.

They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
