SANAA,  A car bomb near a mosque in Yemen‘s capital Saturday killed two people, as Saudi led warplanes bombarded second city Aden, after peace talks in Geneva ended without agreement.
The explosion in Sanaa, controlled by Iran backed Shiite Huthi rebels, went off outside the Kobbat al Mehdi mosque as Shiite Muslims emerged from midday prayers, witnesses and security sources said.

As well as the two dead, another 16  people were wounded, medical officials said.
The blast, which comes as Muslims observe the fasting month of Ramadan, damaged the entrance of the mosque and shattered the windows of a nearby house, an AFP photographer reported.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack, SITE Intelligence Group reported, the latest in a series that has targeted Sanaa, which the Huthi rebels seized in September.
