Sana’a, October 08: Suspected al-Qa’ida militants attacked two Western targets in Yemen yesterday, firing a rocketat a British diplomat’s car and killing a Frenchman at a gas and oil installation.
The attacks bore the hallmarks of al-Qa’ida. The group has threatened to strike against Western targets and the Yemeni government, which declared war on its local arm after it claimed a failed attack on a US-bound airliner in December.
