Not Quiet on the Yemen Front

"A man armed with an automatic weapon fired on the United States embassy in the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Tuesday, before he was himself shot and wounded by police and arrested, police said."

The attack came two days after a Yemeni security source said 22 suspected members of Al-Qaeda accused of plotting attacks on Western targets in the country were being questioned by a special anti-terrorist tribunal.

Since the September 11 attacks in the United States in 2001, Yemen has worked with Washington in its so-called "war on terror" to clamp down on suspected Al-Qaeda members.

Yemen, one of the poorest countries on the planet, is the ancestral homeland of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden." -Source

Just love the "so-called" comment. Hey Dhimmi, it's called the war on terror, because we are at war with terrorists.
