(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The US on Wednesday condemned a bomb attack at the Police Academy in Sanaa, Yemen, calling it a "senseless murder" where nearly 40 people were killed, according to local reports.
Many of the dead were either cadets or potential recruits lined up outside, who "sought to undertake public service and protect the Yemeni people," State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki said in a statement. "We express our sincere condolences to the victims and their families." She further noted the "Yemeni men and women who work each day, often at great personal risk, to build a better, more peaceful future for themselves, their families, and all Yemenis," and reaffirmed the Obama Administration's support for the Yemeni government "to counter the shared threat posed by terrorists".
