Terrorists in Yemen

The Department of State warns that terrorist organizations, including Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), are active in Yemen. AQAP claimed responsibility for a Sept. 25 attack in Sana’a during which two gunmen fired on a bus with Yemeni security agents, wounding 10.

British motorcades in Sanaa were attacked on Oct. 6 and April 26. There have been other terrorist incidents.

On May 24, two US tourists and their Yemeni driver and translator were kidnapped near Sana’a.
