Be alert in Yemen

The Department of State warns that the security threat to all U.S. citizens in Yemen remains high due to continuing efforts by Al-Qaida to reconstitute an effective operating base. This could lead to possible attacks against U.S. citizens, facilities, businesses and perceived interests, including the Sanaa Trade Center and American-affiliated franchises, restaurants and shops.

U.S. citizens should be particularly alert in Sanaa around Bab al Yemen, Tahrir Square, the Bounia neighborhood and areas surrounding the Taj Sheba Hotel, Jamal Street and Suq al Qah, as foreigners have been the target of attacks in these areas.
