CAIRO Yemen’s prime minister says that a missile attack on the airport in Aden was meant “to eliminate” the country’s new government as it arrived in the key southern city a daring assault which he blames on Iran-backed rebels.
Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed speaks to The Associated Press in an interview conducted at his office in the Mashiq Palace in Aden. It is the leader’s first interview with international media after he survived Wednesday’s attack that killed at least 25 people and wounded 110 others.
“It’s a major terrorist attack that was meant to eliminate the government,” the premier says. “It was a message against peace and stability in Yemen.”

WASHINGTON A coalition of 11 Republican senators announces it will challenge the outcome of the presidential election by voting to reject electors from some states when Congress meets next week to certify the Electoral College results that confirmed President-elect Joe Biden won.
US President Donald Trump’s extraordinary refusal to accept his election defeat and the effort to subvert the will of the voters has become a defining moment for Republicans and is tearing the party apart. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has urged Republicans not to try to overturn the election.
The 11 senators, led by Ted Cruz of Texas, say they will vote against certain state electors unless Congress appoints an electoral commission to immediately conduct an audit of the election results. They acknowledge they are unlikely to change the results of the election.
