At least two people, including a suicide bomber, were killed in a car bomb attack on a tribal convoy in north-western Yemen on Friday, tribal sources said, DPA reported.
The attacker rammed a car packed with explosives into the convoy in the Sahar district of the north-western province of Saada early Friday.
The convoy was carrying tribesmen from Marib province to the funeral of Badruddin al-Houthi, the father of Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of a Shiite rebel group that has fought against the government for more than five years.
Badruddin, 86, died on Thursday, they said.
This is the second car bomb attack in the Shiite stronghold in northern Yemen this week. On Wednesday 15 people were killed in a similar attack in neighbouring al-Jawf province.
