Yemen suicide bomber kills 45 in Abyan
The Yemeni government has blamed al-Qaeda for a suicide bombing that has killed at least 45 people in the southern province of Abyan.
Dozens more were wounded in the attack on a funeral in the city of Jaar.
The bomber is said to have detonated an explosive belt during the service held by a tribal militia that supported the army during recent fighting.
Earlier, five alleged al-Qaeda militants were killed in a suspected US drone strike, Yemeni officials said.

Syria conflict: Photographers’ UK jihadist claim considered
John Cantlie (right) and fellow photographer Jeroen Oerlemans (left) were threatened with death
Reports that Britons were among Islamist militants who kidnapped and wounded two photographers in Syria are being taken “very seriously” by ministers, the Foreign Office has said.
The claims were made by photographers John Cantlie and Jeroen Oerlemans, who were held at a camp for a week in July.
The Foreign Office said it was closely “monitoring the situation”.
The Free Syrian Army group, which is part of the opposition trying to oust Bashar al-Assad, helped them to escape.
Mr Cantlie, who is British, and his Dutch colleague, Mr Oerlemans, were both wounded in a “shooting gallery” as their thwarted captors fired after the fleeing men.
