The Record ^ | 3-20-2015 | Ahmed Al-Haj, AP

A television network owned by Yemen's Shiite rebels says a total of 137 people were killed and 345 injured in quadruple suicide bombings that hit a pair of mosques controlled by the rebels in Sanaa, the Yemeni capital.

Al-Masirah TV raised the death toll on Friday hours after the attacks, making it the deadliest violence to hit the fragile war-torn country.

Why not in breaking news ?

Heck if I know.

ISIS this morning claimed responsibility for the attacks, and just withing the last hour countered by issuing a statement that they don't see any indication of ISIS involvement.

I guess the White House doesn't want ISIS to get a bad name or anything.

But when the chips are down, the two branches of Islam will unite to defeat the infidel.

Allah must be real thirsty lately— he sure requires a lot of bloody Muzzie cocktails to sustain his royal moonness.

I'm betting this is what occurs for the battle of Armageddon.

I thought Yemen was one of Obama’s big foreign policy successes.

Sadly, it is.

For the foolish Obama and his regime, every day is "backwards day".

Yes, as when Al Qaeda (Sunni) & Iran (Shia) helped each other, or at least Iran gave AQ sanctuary.

This is not on the main freep page ?? Why not in breaking news ?

I thought the story was only worthy of chit chat status. These events are getting to be just common daily occurrences in the world.

Do I have this about right?

137 killed x 72 = 9,864 virgins

Good thing those 345 are only injured as we’d need another 24,840 virgins.

Is there enough of these virgins to go around?

Like someone else stated on here, let them kill each other.

But we can’t search a mosque because they are sacred to the people who blow them up.

For the same reason that police chases aren’t in Breaking News.

Two different beliefs of Izzlam. They kill more of each other than anyone else kills of them. That is why Iran (Shiite) and the Saudi’s, and others (Sunni) hate each other’s guts and want to kill each other so much.

Stay out of it? Well OK but can I root for it? The story says it was seweecide bumbers who did the damage which means both sides lost. It’s like they both have really bad cheer leaders: go team-—lose team lose-—yeay! Only 1.5 billion backward dumbasses to go. yeay 12th century-—back team back!

I have to go rest and root.

It must be their illegal occupation of Palestinian territory that caused this.

Or perhaps Soda-Stream.

kill them all? I’m OK with that but for the moment they’re doing just fine killing themselves. But HG Wells noted a century ago in the Time Traveler that once degeneration sets in they will pretty much weaken themselves until they are food for the few strong survivors. And so far he’s right except he was long by about 800,000 years.

Not only did Washington warn about furriners but by own Great Grandaddy (12th) William Bradford III warned, about 1625, of the need to weed out and screen for dirtbags. He made good on his own advise as Governor of the New Plymouth Plantation by setting up a gallows, having a trial, and hanging the first genius who did damage to someone else. And while he was Governor there were at least two more hangings that I know about. His buddy Myles Standish always kept a lid on trouble makers-—it worked then-—it would work now.

Once example of what the Middel-East would look like daily if they didn’t have Israel to focus on.

I wonder how the followers of Islam view these acts of terrorism, since they were the target of these attacks?

Not so hilarious now is it.

Where’s the dancing in the street folks?

As much as I hate inner city violence, those folks aren’t going into churches and killing 130 and wounding another couple of hundred.

They haven’t taken out targets like the WTC either.

In some ways I do think there is a parallel, but I’d be more specific. Societies in both countries have signed off on these things to a certain extent. I agree with you there.

Here it’s cool to be a gangsta. That S needs to stop here and now. The entertainment industry should do more to police it’s own creations.

The Rap degradation of women would be an excellent place to start.

Black women, women in general, should not be denigrated in the manner many of these songs do it.

Other shady practices that are anti-society should also be looked at.

Crime is not victimless. Quit acting like it is. (not you of course)

dancing? Well it was quite a game! In the Inbredmuzzie league these teams are starting the playoffs.

It would take a talent like, oh, say, Bob Newhart to call one of these games and do it justice:

The teams are taking the killing field now, folks. Today the Sheeites are playing the Shinolas and they are led on the field by their cheerleaders wearing their 12th century burkas. Here come the kickers packing their bags of rocks all weighed in and checked for air pressure. The referees are bringing the seweecide vests all ready to pass out to the team that loses the head toss. Looks like the Shinolas are “skins” today since they burned up their clothes during the pig barbecue last night. Just as soon as we have a mercy killing we’ll be starting the game-————Wait til they drag that dead calf off the field.
