At least 62 people were killed in two separate attacks launched by unidentified assailants in Yemen, hours after Ahmed Bin Mubarak rejected nomination as prime minister amid strong opposition from Houthi rebels.

As the Houthis were getting ready to stage an anti-government rally in Tahrir Square in the Yemeni capital on Thursday, a suicide bomber detonated his explosive belt at a security checkpoint controlled by the Houthis, killing at least 42, including children.

An army camp in Buroom, Hadhramaut province also came under attack on Thursday. A group of gunmen stormed the camp while a suicide bomber detonated a car bomb. The double attack left 20 soldiers dead.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks yet, but many suspect they were the works of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

The Shi'ite Muslim Houthi movement has been gaining momentum in Yemen, with the Houthis controlling the capital since September 21.
