The US embassy in Sana'a said on Wednesday morning, September 17, at approximately 9:15 local time, the Embassy compound was attacked by
armed terrorists.
A number of explosions occurred in the
vicinity of the Embassy's main gate and there were several secondary
explosions. A number of Yemeni security personnel were killed and
injured, as were several Yemeni citizens waiting to gain entry to the
Embassy.
The U.S. Embassy condemns this attack in the strongest
possible terms. Today's events demonstrate that terrorist criminals
will not hesitate to kill innocent citizens and those charged with
protecting them in pursuit of their agenda of terror.
The
Embassy is working closely with senior Yemeni government officials to
investigate this incident. We will rely on continued close cooperation
with Yemeni authorities to complete a thorough investigation and to
bring the perpetrators of this heinous terrorist crime to justice.
