never forget, we'll never know their pain and we only wish we could have stopped this to reduce the number of victims. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com isis claims responsibility for attacks that killed more than 100 people in yemen's capital. disturbing new information about the men behind the blast and the sick trick they used to carry it out. also a march against terrorism in tunisia after the deadly attack which left at least 20 dead there. we'll hear from a man who saw the massacre as it unfolded. plus a brazen attack using bug spray and a machete on federal officers at a u.s. airport. welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world, i'm natalie allen. this is "cnn newsroom."
12:01 am
. in yemen, isis is warning that attacks on two shiite mosques are just the beginning. the terror group claimed responsible for the bombings friday which killed and wounded hundreds. that attack is just the latest sign that sectarian violence could be plunging yemen into civil war. senior international correspondent nick paton walsh has our report. we warn you, this video is graphic. >> reporter: a staggering death toll over 130 dead over 300 injured. sanaa, the capital's hospital struggling to cope with the influx of the wounded. the blasts hitting at the aboutest time of the week during friday prayer. what key shia mosque in sanaa frequented by members of the houthi movement senior clerics and leader wounded. one clerical leader killed by the two explosions. the first it each mosque hitting crowds of worshippers.
12:02 am
suggestions in some yemeni media and blaster casts used to smug in explosives by suicide bombers. after the first black struck and rescuer rushed in eric second device outside -- rushed in a second device out each of the mosques. that's perhaps behind the large number of death but add a troubling extra element to the instability and unrest across yemen where the government of swept out of power by the increase in the organized houthi movement who many say are backed by iran. it is that element of sectarianism here. these were she athey were targets in -- shia. they were targets in the mousks in sanaa. a prime suspect many would have accused of doing this -- al qaeda -- issued a statement saying it was not them and they wouldn't target large gatherings of civilians.
12:03 am
the responsibility that we heard has come from isis in written and audio form through channels they've used if the past is it add weight to the possibility that isis were behind these blasts. in the past they have been known to have a limited capability in yemen. dozens perhaps only pledging allegiance to the isis leader who's if northern iraq and syria at the moment. the potential that they have found the capability to carry out a mass scale attack like it will have many deeply concerned. they've been able to find a foothold in the chaos that's engulfing yemen. the u.s. has closed its embassy testimony's struggling in its fight against al qaeda. they're slow in finding another place where they can call home. will be deeply concerning to those who don't want to see any further sectarian violence inside yemen. many worried in yemen now, seeing perhaps a new chapter. we've seen instability, but now perhaps the seeny/shia violence -- sunni/shia violence may have
12:04 am
found a new home in yemen. cnn, beirut. >> if it did find a new home in yemen, what does that mean? barak barfi is a research fell toe new america foundation. he's written extensively about yemen, he lived there. and al qaeda's position there. i asked earlier if this marks a change. yemen is on the brink of civil war, now a new group that's not carried out a major attack before had claimed responsible for the attack on shiite masks and filled with isis. is that how you understand it? and what kind of sign is this? >> this is a very bad omen for yemen. basically yemen's become the battlegrown ground between al qaeda and isis for the control of the jihadist mobile movement. yemeni al qaeda franchise has
12:05 am
been the most successful franchise. if isis is able to make inroads there and take away recruits and support from the al qaeda fill, it could mean death to affiliate. >> in the chaos yemen has avoided the vicious sectarian violence that we've seen if iraq and syria. you lived there for a year many years ago. how do you think that until this moment it has avoided that? >> well the shiite offshootute shoot the is a -- offshoot is a moderate group. the shia/sunni divide is much nay ohher in yemen than it is in those country. >> if the situation in yemen continues to deteriorate the sphere that we may see another somalia where there's this security vacuum and jihadists overrun it.
12:06 am
what you do you think? >> i'm not so sure that somalia is the best example. i think lebanon during the civil war from '75 to ' 0 is a better -- '90 is a better example. people can tolerate a lot more violence than say, in a country like egypt during the 2010 revolution where people were in a panic because there was no security. yemenese don't expect a lot from their government or state and know we'll adapt to falling back on family and shrine. >> we hope it won't be a situation like we've seen in somalia. the president of yemen, outed president, who can help him? does she have a chance? >> he does very much have a chance. the international community is back could him. he's backed by the united states by the united nations, by the international community as as toed to the houthi -- as opposed to the houthis. the rebel group that took over
12:07 am
the government. does not have support. it's basically backed by iran. it's not clear how much support iran is going to tender to the group given that it's bogged down with sanctions in iraq because of the nuclear group. >> do you have any closing comment as far as what you think is the next step that anyone trying to save yemen should do since this has just happened? >> the big question now is does isis have an infrastructure in yemen? was this a home grown attempt -- attack or of it blow back from the yemeni fighter who traveled to iraq and syria, joined up with isis and then were sent home? if it's the former and there's a he'll grown element there and an infrastructure this could be a very bad omen for the united states and international community because it's likely that the yemenese don't have a lot of intelligence about the

isis components. >> thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. and now we turn to the attack this week on tongue. at least a dozen of the 23 people killed at a hume in tunisian were tourists. among the dead four italians, three french citizens three japanese and two from spain. some of the bodies are still unaed. on friday people marked independence day with a march against terrorism. authorities have arrested nine people in connection with the attacks which isis claims responsibility. phil black has more from a witness to the master and from the family of one suspect. >> reporter: these are the panicked scenes. as security forces arrived at the museum. by that time the gunman had already killed many people and moved deeper inside the complex.

12:11 am
attack. they say wednesday morning like any other. four officials say he gunneddown the 23 -- gunneddown the 23 people. more now on how group areeral calizing people in tune why it is hard to get upper control. >> its is difficult if many. the friends of jihadis -- we've been asking them to grasp the notion that their loved one would travel so far away to carry out a misguided notion of jihad and fight isis. when it comes to radicalization in tunisian it's very complex. multi layered. it's not just targeting impoverished youth and an entight like isis is offering them an -- identity like isis is offering them a sense of purpose. however misguided it may be. it's also to afeel educated one

of those attackers whose family is now speaking out. this attacker's family -- uncle, sorry, also separately spoke to cnn. he was saying his never sue also a victim of terrorism because he was brainwash. and drawn toward an entity like that. he described his nephew as being calm and they're. we could pick him up. the reasons the u.s. is radical eased is a -- it's difficult to control unless every single nation put reforms into place that give you an alternate. modern imams need to have a stronger voice so that when the

12:18 am
been made -- progress has been made. the indication is there are still tough issues that they have not been able to make grammy on. president obama speaking to the iranian people on the eve of the new year sudden for the iranian delegation saying that this is a time for the delegation here to make tough choices. but the opportunities if they make these choices will be good for the respectan people. there is what he said -- >> iran's leaders have a choice between two paths. if they cannot agree to a reasonable deal they will keep iran on the path it's onned to. a path that is isolated -- has isolated iran and the iranian people from so much of the world. if iran's leader can agree to a reasonable deal. can lead to a better path. the path of greater tunes for the iranian people. >> reporter: i was able to talk to the iranian foreign minister and ask him it he thought that there was still time to get a deal done before the deadline
12:19 am
that's coming up. this is what he told me -- >> it depends on the mile -- whether there is a political will to reach one. >> reporter: interesting that he says if there's a political will because this is what secretary kerry has been saying all week. there needs to be political will on the iranian side to make the tough key choices. now the iranian delegation was turning it back on the u.s. and saying you know there needs to be political will there. and i asked him as well about president obama's message to the iranian people. he told me that he tweeted on that, and his thoughts on that earlier. and in his tweet, this is what he said -- the iranians is already made their choice, engage with dignity. it's high time he said high time for the u.s. and its allies to choose pressure or agreement. pressure or grammy. the real indication there is that his pushing back on secretary kerry and his delegation here saying if you
12:20 am
were us to agree, ease back on the pressure. so really it is a contest at this stage, if you will of political wills. the side saying they will get back together again next week. nic robertson, cnn, switzerland. u.s. house speaker john boehner plans to visit israel in the next couple of weeks. it was boehner who invited israeli prime minister netanyahu to deliver a speech to a joint meeting of the u.s. congress earlier this month. just this week netanyahu won re-election. during the campaign he said there would be no two-state solution in the middle east. netanyahu's statement led president obama to warn he may reassess the u.s. relationship with sdap. cnn senior white house correspondent jim akomptrksccostaccosta has more. >> reporter: if there's one thing clear after president obama's phone equal israeli prime minister in the the netanyahu, it's that a single conversation won't repair a

in elizabeth needs to be girl -- and sending troops to deal with the situation. really if you look at the current divisions in libya and the fighting ongoing between the rival factions rather than uniting and fighting isis or the treexist groups there. it seems they are fighting each other. and there are u.s. talks taking place for some time to try and will bring the different sides together to try and make them form a national unity government. many libyans would tell you this is too little too late in the country. there was this feeling that the international community had an obligation to try and help libya after they intervened with nato backing to overthrow the gadhafi regime. many libyans feel their country
