Sana'a, Yemen, Jan. 3 (UPI) - The U.S. embassy in Yemen, closed Sunday because of threats against U.S. interests al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, officials said.
The announcement on the website of the embassy did not say when it would reopen the office in Sana'a.
The embassy sent a message to U.S. citizens in Yemen on Thursday to remind them of terrorist threats and tell them to maintain a high level of security and surveillance.
U.S. President Barack Obama Saturday linked al-Qaida in Yemen at 25 December, an attempted attack on a Northwest Airlines flight en route from Amsterdam to Detroit.
The suspect arrested in the foiled assassination attempt allegedly told police officers who had been helped by the group.
