| British Embassy in Yemen Closed |
| 2002-11-17 |
| The British Embassy in Yemen was closed to the public on Saturday and Sunday but embassy staff were still working their usual hours.Another embassy official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said the embassy was closed as a precaution and was ordered after consultations with the British Foreign Office. He said the closure was not a long-term measure. On Friday, the Foreign Office, citing a "heightened" terrorist threat, advised Britons not to travel to Yemen and told those already there to consider leaving. The Foreign Office declined to give details. We can guess some of the details, if the reports of Binny's presence in Yemen are true. If the SAS is getting too close, the Bad Guys will counterattack. Hell, they'll probably counterattack anyway... |
