USA reopens Embassy in Yemen

Yemen: USA reopened Tuesday its Embassy in Yemen, after closing two days ago every activity from fear of a terrorist attack, but it multiplied the security mechanism around the place.

Sources of the US mission in Sanaa said the reopening obeyed to the fact that Yemeni security forces lead an important operation in a “specific area of instability,” north of Sanaa.

The Diplomatic Missions of Great Britain and France also resumed its activities, although they are still closed to the public.

Yesterday, every Embassy including those of Germany and Japan closed after some threats from Al-Qaeda, which said would attack some western objectives in Yemen.

Although there is no full consensus between the western powers, the US and the UK stimulate the creation of a new military front to attack the Osama Bin Laden network in his homeland.

Yemen, considered the poorest Arabian country, faces a situation of politic and social instability in the northwest, where the army is fighting with the Houthis rebels of the chiite Al-Zaydi sect, and in the south, against the armed militia that supported the division. Sanaa, Prensa Latina
