Yemen: Three arrested over US embassy shooting |
2009-01-28 |
(AKI) - Yemeni police have detained three men suspected of being involved in a shooting near the US embassy in the capital, Sanaa, on Monday. The shooting is reported to have occurred at a checkpoint outside the embassy in Yemen, but several officials gave the media different accounts of the incident. One security official said gunmen in the car had opened fire at the checkpoint, hours after the mission had received a threat. No injuries were reported. Hours earlier, the US embassy said it had received several threats by e-mail and fax about a potential attack in the foreseeable future. US officials have urged Americans to exercise caution in the Arab country that has previously witnessed attacks by militants on western interests. |

#3 Yeah, but from what I've read here before at Rantburg there are still people who flee to Yemen to escape Somalia. So my guess is Somalia still has Yemen beat. |

#2 Paul, Yemen has always been a lawless, primitive place. It's also the home of bin Laden's family. |
