The suicide bomber who attacked a military parade rehearsal in Yemen's capital Sanaa this week was a Yemeni soldier, named Haitham Hamid Hussein Mufarih, Almasdar Online reported on Thursday, quoting a spokesman for the Sharia Supporters.
No more details were given.
A security source, who preferred not to be named, confirmed that Mufarih was a member in the Central Security Forces, the website said.
The interior ministry reported a day ago a 24-year old young man, Al-Worafi, was the bomber, but later this person, who lives in Sanaa, turned to be alive.
On Thursday, the ministry said two other suspects have been arrested in connection with the bombing.
More than one hundred central security forces were killed and more than three hundred others injured in the suicide bombing at Al-Sabeen Square on Monday.
Some 67 of the victims were buried today, with families urging to find out who killed their relatives.
One of the troops, who participated in the parade rehearsal, said the bomber targeted a whole battalion.
"We suddenly heard a big explosion and saw heads and parts of soldiers flying in the air," the soldier said.
The bombing, which drew large local and international condemnation, occurred amid an intensified offensive against Al-Qaida militants in Abyan province, killing and injuring hundreds of them.
