Audio and video statements purportedly from ISIS claim that the terror group is responsible for Friday's deadly suicide bombings at two mosques in Yemen's capital. The statements were posted on ISIS-affiliated websites.

The written statement, posted on a site that has carried ISIS statements in the past, called Friday's attacks "a tip of an iceberg," It said that five suicide bombers carried out attacks Friday on Houthis, primarily in Sanaa.

The voice in the separate audio statement is similar to one featured in Thursday's audio message in which ISIS claimed responsibility for Wednesday's deadly attack at the Bardo Museum in Tunisia.

Friday's audio message claims five suicide bombers killed dozens of "Houthi infidels."

ISIS is not known to have previously carried out a large-scale attack in Yemen.

CNN cannot independently verify the legitimacy of Friday's statements.

Yemen: Bombs kill 120 at mosques frequented by rebels in capital

Suicide bombers on Friday attacked two mosques frequented by Shiite rebels who recently seized control of Yemen's capital, killing 120 people and injuring more than 300 others, two officials with the rebel group said.

The mosques in Sanaa served members of the minority Zaidi sect of Shiite Islam -- the sect followed by the Houthi militant group that recently took control of the capital of the majority Sunni Muslim nation and forced President Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi to flee.

How can they kill fellow Muslims, worshipping in mosques? :huh:

Stuff like this should prove that Islamic State, despite its name does not represent Islam and is in fact using it to garner control and fear in the region.  

Stand in the light, cast your shadow.

It's so hard to be optimistic about the situation in the Middle East..

Still, I look forward to the day that ISIS is completely eradicated like the vermin that they are.

Tbh Houthis of Yemen and Shia militia in Iraq are same **** as ISIS, different package. They do the same cruel **** but not in front of the camera, so the world doesn't care. They should exterminate each other and leave normal Muslims alone.

I have my doubts... thousands of kids are being indoctrinated and taught how to use weapons right now. There could possibly be a whole new generation of jihadis.

I'm confused :duck: If they're committing something like this (which is already wrong) in places like mosques then something's VERY wrong, considering they're a holy place :huh:
