Yemen, where multiple suicide bombers killed at least 142 people Friday, has seen a series of attacks since the regime and opposition signed a transition accord in November 2011.
Friday's attacks were the first to be claimed by Daesh group's branch in Yemen, where the most active jihadist group is Al-Qaeda.
