AMRAN A car bomb explosion that killed four people on March 20 in Amran remains a mystery.
Yemeni police in Amran governorate have not disclosed reasons behind the explosion which also left three injured.
Sources in Amran told Yemen Times that a Toyota four-wheel drive car was spotted at the explosion site.
A bus carrying four soldiers was passing by the driver of the car which had explosives, including T.N.T.
After the huge explosion, two soldiers plus the driver of the car and one of his companions were left dead. Two other soldiers and a passer-by were seriously injured.
The sources said the car driver may have set the explosive so he was not discovered.
