Yemeni human rights advocate and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Tawakkol Karman has strongly condemned the deadly terrorist attack on a national army-affiliated camp in Yemen’s southern port city of Aden where scores were martyred and injured. 

Karman, in a statement posted on her own Facebook page today, expressed her deep condolences to the families of victims and people of Yemen everywhere for those who lost their lives in Aden’s suicide attack. 

At least 48 recruits of Yemeni national army were killed and over 30 other were injured late Saturday when a suicide bomber allegedly belonging to a local affiliate of ISIL blew himself up just 200 meters away from the main gate of Al Sawlaban camp in the Khor Maksar district of Aden, south of Yemen.  

The Islamic state, or what is known as "Daesh", claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack, adding that a suicide bomber named Abu Shahd Al Adani donated his explosive belt among the army soldiers in the city. 

Yemeni President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, for his part, immediately ordered the formation of a commission to investigate into what he described as the "treacherous and cowardly" terrorist attack, and take the necessary action to identify where deficiencies lie.
