101

A delegation of South Korean officials investigating a fatal bombing has come under attack near the Yemeni capital.

Yemeni security officials said a suicide bomber targeted the delegation's convoy while it was en route to the airport in Sanaa on Wednesday.

The South Koreans had been in the country to investigate a bombing on Sunday that killed four South Korean tourists and their Yemeni guide.

Officials said no one was hurt in Wednesday's attack. The AP news agency reported that the South Korean ambassador to Yemen was among the delegation.

South Korea said it had been notified by the Yemeni authorities that al-Qaeda was to blame for the attack.
