The governor of Yemen's port city of Aden survived an apparent assassination attempt Tuesday.
A car bomb blew up as the convoy carrying Governor Aidarous al-Zubaidi passed by. Al-Zubaidi was apparently unhurt, but several bodyguards were wounded along with, according to a witness, some civilians.
No one has claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attack. But a pro-Islamic State group was behind last month's bombing that killed al-Zubaidi's predecessor, Jaafar Saad.
Tuesday's attack came a day after a gunbattle in Aden between Yemeni forces and secessionist militants -- one of a number of groups jockeying for power in Yemen as they try to drive out Houthi rebels who control the capital, Sana'a.
