Yemen Foils Suicide Bomber at English Language Center
2013-08-26
[An Nahar] Yemeni security forces on Sunday foiled an attack by a would-be jacket wallah on an English language school once linked to the U.S. embassy in Sanaa, a security official said.

The assailant, 20, was caught after he hurled a grenade that failed to explode at the Yemen-America Language Institute in west Sanaa, the official said.

Security guards found the man wearing an explosives belt, he added.

The YALI institute was founded by the U.S. embassy in 1975, but has been run privately for the past few years.

Security forces foiled the attack on the same day a powerful blast destroyed a bus carrying Yemeni air force personnel to their Sanaa base, killing one person and wounding 25.
