Sanaa, Yemen (CNN)The Sunni terror group ISIS purportedly claimed it committed Friday's bombings that killed scores of people at two mosques frequented by Shiite rebels in Yemen's capital -- an attack that would mark ISIS's first large-scale attack in the Arabian Peninsula country.
At least 137 people were killed and 357 were injured when suicide bombers -- pretending to be disabled and hiding explosives under casts -- attacked the mosques in Sanaa, according to Yemen's state-run Saba news agency.
Video distributed by Reuters showed people removing bodies from one of the mosques, where a carpeted floor was littered with debris.

Hasn't it occurred to any of those war foamers in Congress that Iran just might be the best counter to ISIS? Now that they've murdered Shi'ite Muslims outside their own battlefield, maybe this will happen.
