 Yemen bomb kills Spanish tourists
At least seven people have been killed by an explosion at a tourist site in Yemen, according to officials.
Six Spanish tourists and at least one Yemeni died in the blast, at an ancient temple complex in Marib, eastern Yemen.
About seven others were injured, reports said, in what officials said was a car bomb attack.
Witnesses reported seeing a vehicle enter a gate at the Balqis temple site before it exploded.
Yemen has faced continuing unrest in recent years, often blamed on al-Qaeda operatives.
The Middle Eastern country's government has been fighting Islamists with the help of US special forces based in Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa.
The victims were reported to belong to a group of around 14 Spanish tourists visiting the site, some 190km (110 miles) north-east of the capital, Sanaa.
Yemeni security sources told Reuters they believed al-Qaeda could be behind the attack, after the group demanded the release of militants jailed in the country.
