The Yemeni government has blamed al-Qaeda for a suicide bombing that has killed at least 45 people in the southern province of Abyan.
Dozens more were wounded in the attack on a funeral in the city of Jaar.
The bomber is said to have detonated an explosive belt during the service held by a tribal militia that supported the army during recent fighting.
