Explosion near US embassy in Yemen
An explosion was heard in an area close to the U.S. embassy in the Yemeni capital, and security forces closed the streets leading to the mission. Security forces blocked access to the area near the embassy, but no ambulances were seen. The embassy on Wednesday warned Americans in Yemen that they could be in danger of "imminent terrorist targeting." The warning came on the eve of a visit by Vice President Dick Cheney, who left Sanaa on Thursday.
That's just their little way of saying g'bye.
More:Local residents said someone had hurled a grenade in the area, while a US official in Washington said, "Two concussion grenades were thrown by a Yemeni individual at the embassy. He has been taken into custody."
Large men with moustaches and truncheons are discussing the matter with him.
