U.S. and Britain closed their embassies in Yemen

clipped from newsmax.com

The U.S. and Britain closed their embassies in Yemen on Sunday in the face of al-Qaida threats, after both countries announced an increase in aid to the government to fight the terror group linked to the failed attempt to bomb a U.S. airliner on Christmas.

The confrontation with al-Qaida's offshoot in Yemen has gained new urgency since the 23-year-old Nigerian accused in the attack, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, told American investigators he received training and instructions from the group's operatives in Yemen. President Barack Obama said Saturday that the al-Qaida offshoot was behind the attempt.

The UK and US embassies in Yemen have been closed because of an active threat from al Qaeda.

The move comes after Britain and America said they would jointly fund a counter-terrorism unit in Yemen.
