Western embassies in Yemen shut down after al-Qaeda threatens attack

The British and American embassies in Yemen were shut down yesterday as al-Qaeda threatened an attack in response to Western promises of a renewed counter-terrorism effort in the country.

Spain also closed its embassy in the face of what a senior US official said was a direct threat from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the group behind the Christmas Day airline bomb attempt.
