也门官员说,在一次疑似由美国无人机实施的袭击中,有至少7个也门基地组织武装分子被打死。一天前,由于担心可能发生恐怖袭击,美国国务院下令美国使馆非必要工作人员离开也门。
星期三早些时候发生在舍卜沃省的无人机袭击是不到两个星期以来的第五次袭击。美国近年来不断使用无人机袭击阿拉伯半岛基地组织的目标成员。
也门官员说,他们截获了针对该国首都和其他地区的目标面临袭击的威胁,并在本周早些时候发布了一个据说在计划实施袭击的25个人的名单。
美国将位于中东和非洲的19个使领馆关闭到星期六,其中包括驻萨那大使馆。
美国总统奥巴马说,促使关闭美国驻中东和非洲19个使领馆的威胁是严重的,美国必须采取一切预防措施。
Officials say a suspected U.S. drone strike has killed at least seven alleged al-Qaida militants in Yemen, a day after the U.S. State Department ordered its non-essential staff to leave the country amid concerns of a possible terrorist attack.
The drone strike early Wednesday in Shabwa province was the fifth strike in Yemen in less than two weeks. The United States has repeatedly used drone strikes in recent years to target members of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.
Yemeni officials say they have intercepted threats against targets in the country's capital and other locations, and earlier this week released a list of 25 people it says were planning to carry out attacks.
The United States has shut down 19 embassies and consulates in the Middle East and Africa through Saturday, including the U.S. Embassy in Sana'a.
U.S. President Barack Obama says the threat that caused those closures is "significant enough" that the United States is "taking every precaution."
