U.S. Embassy atacked in Yemen
Thursday, September 18, 2008 - *
At 9am on Tuesday morning, I was awakened by a boom that echoed through the city. Two miles from my house, crowds were being held blocks away from the American embassy, held far from the remains of a suicide attack on the American embassy in Sana’a. Two hours after the attack, helicopters were flying overhead, army vehicles were rushing in and out with soldiers tightly gripping their anti-aircraft guns, and ambulances carried out the bodies of at least 16 people.
I wrote a cover story for the Christian Science Monitor about the attack and contributed to an article for the L.A. Times.
