worshipers. john terret reports. >> throughout day several groups have been blamed. in the end it turns out a previously unknown affiliate of i.s.i.l. was the first to claim responsibility. more than 130 people dead, many more injured after suicide bombers working in tandem attacked a plosk in mosque in yemen's capital sanaa. the target yazidi shias. >> the second was inside the mosque. why did they do that? it's a mosque, a home of god. >> reporter: a third suicide bomber killed only himself at a

second mosque. the attack came during friday morning prayer. the mosques were crowded. >> blew up the line in the first graition. congregation. >> hospitals overwhelmed by casualties and pleading for blood donors, the white house condemned the killings. >> we abhor the terrorists who perpetrated the unprovoked attack of friday prayers in their place of worship. >> islamic state of iraq and the levant claimed responsibility for the attack. some have their doubts, but it became clear attacking shia places of worship is what i.s.i.l. does. seized power in the country's

capital forcing the embattled president, abd rabbu mansour hadi. hadi, to his home. forces loyal to president hadi are holing off a houthi advance. the fighting has many countries shuttering embassies. saudi arabia did last month. the u.s. has too. one of the poorest and moss isolated countries on earth. so with all that today it seems a political settlement is as far away as ever and the battle for control is a bloody one with ordinary yemenis paying the price. it is unclear what the united states or others in the area can do to avoid all out civil war. are antonio. >> thank you john. the gunmen who opened fire in tunis received training in

libya. poland's foreign ministry said a third pole was killed in the attack. nuclear talks with iran took a break today as a march 31st deadline to form a deal looms. marking the persian new year and mourning the death of president rouhani's mother. but there are reportedly significant gaps among the negotiators. talks are said to resume next week. house speaker john boehner will head to israel. speaker plans to meet with israeli leaders to discuss relations between the two countries. a congressional aide says the trip was planned before tuesday's election and before prime minister benjamin netanyahu's address to congress. coal is shaping up to be next showdown between the white house and republicans.

the new york times says kentucky senator mitch mcconnell will suppress states to block president obama's energy regulations. the new rules would require states oreduce carbon pollution from coal fired power plants. mcconnell says the plan would shut down hundreds of coal plants and eliminate jobs. for first time the government is setting rules for fracking, the rules are designed to protect water sources across the country. but as libby casey explains they only apply to federal land. >> the new rules set safety regulations for fracking or hydraulic fracturing the drilling technology creating a boom in oil and gas across the country and controversial too. interior secretary sally jewel says ficialt evere federal regulation needs to catch up. >> they are the same ones that were in place when i was working on drilling and fracking

operations. >> the new rules take effect in june and only apply to federal and tribal lands. that amounts to just 11% of natural gas and 5% of oil produced in the u.s. the interior department says the regulations set a bar for states as they create their own guidelines. the federal rules require the industry to test the quality of cement used in wells to keep gas from seeping out. meet tougher standards for storing toxic fluids. disclose more information about existing wells. and reveal the chemicals they've used within 30 days. however, the industry can claim proprietary trade secrets. environmental groups say that leaves a loophole and some say the regulations don't go nearly far enough. but secretary jewel say the standards will help ensure the safety of water and wildlife.

>> as we work to protect our water our air and our communities. >> prodevelopment critics say the rules could hamstring industry and aren't necessary. >> this is the example of the government getting in the way to a very successful story. >> block regulations two industry groups have already filed lawsuits. but matt lee ashley with the left leaning center for american progress says the rules are reasonable progress. >> requiring that a company build a storage tank at the surface to be able to treat waste water is hardly burdensome. that is something communities across the country should expect. >> capping off three years of debate and 1.5 million public comments. this is an example of the fight between the white house and republicans. the obama administration is using the regulator process to shape some of its goals but those inside this process say it

worked exactly as it was supposed to. there was a lock give and take period and now these regulations have been settled. the republicans hope to influence this process at the state level, environmental advocates certainly didn't get everything they want in this federal rule making. antonio. >> libby casey in washington, thanks. it is time to confirm loretta lynch as attorney general, says president obama. he told the huffington post, the office is too critical to use as a bargaining chip. >> you don't hold attorney general nominees hostage for other issues. this is our top law enforcement office. nobody denies that she's well qualified. we need to go ahead and get her done. >> the nomination is on hold as republicans push for passage of

a human trafficking bill that acquaint anti-abortion language. president obama says it's ironic that members of congress don't like attorney general eric holder but won't get rid of him. >> the case of an african american hanging from a tree. jonathan martin. >> officials say it will take that long before the preliminary autopsy results come back. they did officially identify the man who was deceased as 54-year-old otis bird, found in a rural area, hanging froming from a tree from what appears to be a bed sheet. unusual circumstances surrounding his death officials

are taking this very very seriously and conducting an investigation. the fbi, department of justice and the u.s. attorneys office are part of this investigation and we learned 30 officers both state and federal are part of this probe. they say several things are doing at this point, talking to the man's family trying to figure out more about him specifically how he went missing perhaps, he went missing or the two weeks they are looking into a storage facility he owned here in the community and also they told us the third thing they're doing is looking around a home that he was recently renting. >> we're still trying to find out out more about mr. byrd's bird's life, what was going on personally and professionally to help us identify potential reasons. >> around otis bird's criminal past. in 1980 he was convicted of murdering a woman who lived this this community. he spent some 25 years in prison

and was paroled back in 2006 so he has been part of the community for the last eight or nine years and according to the sheriff he had been check income on a regular basis with his parole center. they are looking into his criminal past. we spent time talking to people in the community. it seems that people are hoping for a complete and thorough investigation, they are not jumping into catalogs but many do feel this is foul play considering the circumstances where this happened and how it happened. again we really won't have any answers surrounding the death until an autopsy comes back the preliminary autopsy expected sometime in the last three or four days. antonio. >> thank you jonathan. port gibson mississippi. investigating congressman aaron schock. illinois republican announced his resignation tuesday after an

space for the burials and to make sure families have a place to come and visit their loved ones after they die. >> grace carbo is a base manager for the bo district, the organization is working for others to train across the country. >> so we mark this grave because we know some kids have lost their parents because of ebola barely two three years old. after five, six years they want to come and see where the father or mother sleep. >> 276 burial members with world vision ten of them are women. >> from our cultural perspective it is not proper for a man to bury a woman. there was resistance around the burial. but when we had females on the burial team they were more willing to allow them to bury and that has helped to control
