A possible suicide bomber has killed four Korean tourists and their guide in Yemen. 

Yemen, a country on the Arabian Peninsula, is thought to be a safe place for al Qaeda terrorists.

Four tourists and a Yemeni man have been killed in an explosion at a tourist site in Yemen, a security official has said.

The tourists were believed to have been from South Korea, the official said on Sunday.

Authorities were investigating what caused the blast at the archaeological site in the southern province of Hadramout.
