Just the death of ten members can't be a big news in a Sunni dominated nation like Yemen.
More the merrier and lesser nuisances on earth.
Wish it had the corrupt ruler and his key members in the plane.
This plane must be from infidel nations like the US, British or some European nation!
It was reported earlier that this was a much larger JET plane, yet the propeller is clearly visible in the picture with hundreds of gawking locals crawling over the wreckage, even climbing on the burning building to get a closer look. It seems Yemen is merely another collection of illiterate and misinformed people clamoring for violence, regardless of who the victims are. The plane did indeed belong to the Yemeni military. Too bad it could not have been Iranian.
