也门首都星期四发生自杀炸弹袭击， 造成42人死亡。这次袭击明显是针对什叶派胡塞示威者。
星期四的袭击地点是萨那市中心的塔利尔广场。什叶派胡塞示威者自从上个月以来一直控制着这个广场。
目前还没有人宣称对这次袭击事件负责。另外，也门南部星期四发生自杀汽车炸弹爆炸，至少有20名军人被炸死。
九月份在联合国斡旋达成协议之前，什叶派胡塞族人连续几个星期举行抗议活动，要求权利分享和组成新政府。
他们计划在星期四举行示威，抗议哈迪总统任命本姆巴拉克担任新总理。但是本姆巴拉克已经拒绝自己的提名。
国家媒体援引本姆巴拉克的话说，他希望避免国家的进一步分裂。
A suicide bomber has killed at least 42 people in Yemen's capital in an attack apparently targeting Shi'ite Houthi rebels.
The blast happened Thursday in the Tahrir Square section of central Sanaa, which the rebels have controlled since last month.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing. In southern Yemen, a suicide car bombing also killed at least 20 soldiers.
The Houthis staged weeks of protests calling for better power sharing and a new government before reaching a U.N.-brokered deal in September.
They planned new demonstrations Thursday rejecting President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi's appointment of Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak as the new prime minister. But bin Mubarak has turned down the nomination.
State media quoted bin Mubarak as saying he wanted to avoid further disagreement in the country.
