Maldives' ex-leader says he's received asylum in Britain

By Mohammed Mukhashaf ADEN (Reuters) - A suicide car bombing claimed by Islamic State killed at least 40 Yemeni army recruits and wounded 60 in the southern city of Aden on Monday, medics said, in one of the deadliest attacks yet on government interests. The attack occurred as the recruits lined up to enlist outside the home of a senior general near a military camp in Aden's Khor Maksar district, officials said. The port city serves as the temporary capital of Yemen's Saudi-backed administration while it seeks to seize back Sanaa from the Iran-allied armed Houthi group that took it in 2014, plunging Yemen into civil war.
