Yemen suicide bomber kills 45

Onlookers gather at the scene of a suicide bombing in Abyan on August 5, 2012. The suicide attack blamed on Al Qaeda in Jaar, one of a string of towns in Abyan province that were retaken by government troops in June after being held by Al-Qaeda loyalists for more than a year, killed 45 people, local officials said, as residents voiced fears that a lack of security personnel on the ground will allow the jihadists to return.
