Threat to embassy in Yemen
The U.S. Embassy in the Yemeni capital Sanaa tightened security and suspended some services after the Yemeni government passed on information suggesting "an increased terrorist threat." Yemeni authorities deployed extra police around the embassy and closed off some nearby streets after a caller told embassy staff that the mission and U.S. citizens would be attacked. A State Department official said the threat was linked to al Qaeda. The remnants will need to have some sort of a hit in the near future just to convince the jihadis that they're still alive and operating.
