US Embassy in Yemen Attacked

Islamic jihadists carried out an attack on the US Embassy in yemen today, which killed 10 people. In addition, the six attackers were also killed.

So far, reports indicate that no Americans have been wounded. Instead, the attacks killed three Yemenese civilians, an Indian national and six security officers.

This is an important reminder that the war on terror still rages on.

Apparently, the government of Yemen has been cracking down on Al-Qaeda cells in Yemen in recent months. Yemen has led several successful raids on terrorist stongholds and have arrested or killed at least 12 terrorists in the past week.

And because Yemen has been actively opposing terrorist organizations, the terrorists struck back. But one should not wonder if Yemen did something wrong to make terrorists mad at it. This is what the jihadists do - we should not worry about their feelings.

And we must also remember that the war on terror will continue and must continue until these things never happen again.
