SANA, Yemen — Seven people were arrested Monday on suspicion of involvement in attacks against a residential complex for Westerners in Yemen’s capital, a security official said.
The official said some of those detained may have connections to al-Qaeda, but he did not elaborate.
Several explosions shattered windows at the complex on Sunday. Nobody was injured. The State Department reacted to the attack Monday by ordering its “non-emergency” American employees at the U.S. Embassy in the capital of San’a and their families to leave Yemen. In a statement, the department also called on civilians to defer any nonessential travel to Yemen.
