Death toll in Yemen ammunition plant rises to 150

Yemen is a country where carrying firearms is a national passion and guns outnumber the 24-million population by nearly three to one.

Nice, that means about 70+ Million Guns on the streets of Yemen.

So why are these people controlled by Al Qaida and the Militants like them?

Stupidity?

ADEN, YEMEN // The number of people killed in a massive blast and fire at an ammunition plant in south Yemen that was looted by al Qa'eda has shot up to 150, a local official said on Tuesday.

The final toll for Monday's explosion at the plant near the town of Jaar has reached "150 dead and at least 80 wounded," Ahmed Ghaleb Rahawi, sub-prefect of Jaar in the southern province of Abyan where the blast took place, said.

Around 20 women and several children were among the dead.

It was still uncertain whether the blast was an accident or caused by militants.
