The London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reported that Yemen's security apparatuses are not ruling out the possibility that the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa was the real target of the March 18 terror operation that harmed a nearby school.

In response, the U.S. State Department issued a travelers' advisory against visiting Yemen and permitted U.S. Embassy employees and their families to leave the country.
