A suicide bombing in a south Yemen town recently recaptured by the army from al-Qaida forces killed 42 people on Saturday and wounded 37, hospital and local government sources said on Sunday.
The bomber struck in Jaar, one of a string of towns in Abyan province that were retaken by government troops in a major offensive this June after being held by al-Qaida loyalists for more than a year.
But the jihadists remain active in the area.
On Wednesday, an attack on a police station in Jaar killed two soldiers and a civilian.
Residents have expressed fears that the militants could retake the town.
