Gunmen on Saturday threw a bomb at the house of Yemen's Information Minister Ali Al-Amrani but no one at the house, sources at the minister's office said.

The minister was inside the house when the attack occurred, the sources said.

The gunmen were on two motorbikes when they detonated the bomb and ran away late on Saturday, the sources said.

While fleeing, the gunmen open fired randomly in the area in an attempt to prevent anyone from exposing or hunting them and a civilian was injured, the sources added.

It is the second attack on Al-Amrani since he was appointed as the Information Minister. Earlier, he escaped an assassination attempt before the Ministerial Council and he has facing media propaganda allegedly by the loyalists of the former regime.

Recently, key figures including ministers and others have been targeted within what experts said is an assassination campaign to eliminate the foes of the former regime.
