Chaos on the streets of Sanaa...bodies littering the street after a bombing that authorities say killed at least 42 people, including several children.

Many others were seriously wounded and the death toll is expected to rise.

No one has claimed responsibily for the attack...but prior to the blast, the powerful Shi'ite Muslim Houthi movement had planned to hold a rally here, after pressuring the newly appointed Prime Minister to stand down, accusing him of being a puppet of the west.

In recent months, Yemen has become increasingly embroiled in sectarian fighting for control between Shi'ite and Sunni religious sects, including Al Qaeda.

This man says "We will find out who is behind this crime. We are not afraid of anybody, except God."
