Bomb attached to car kills intelligence officer in Yemen
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Yemeni security officials say a bomb attached to a car has killed a senior intelligence officer in the capital.
The officials said the device placed on the colonel's car seriously wounded his driver and two passers-by on Sunday.
They spoke on condition of anonymity according to regulations, which also prevented them from giving the officer's name.

Officials believe the attacks were in retaliation for a military offensive that pushed al-Qaida militants out of their strongholds in southern Yemen.
Al-Qaida has launched a string of such attacks. The Yemen offshoot is considered by Washington as the group's most dangerous branch.
