At least 31 people were killed Wednesday and dozens wounded in five simultaneous bombings claimed by the Islamic State group at Shiite mosques and ******s in the Yemeni capital, medics and witnesses said. IS, a Sunni Muslim radical group, said the attacks were in "revenge" against the Shiite Huthis, who have overrun Sanaa and much of the Sunni majority country and whom it considers to be heretics. The attacks came as the United Nations struggled to push forward peace talks between Yemen's exiled government and the Iran-backed rebels in Geneva.
