US and UK Close Embassies in Yemen Over Threat Level

US Embassy in Yemen

Both the US and UK have pulled their staffs out of their embassies in Yemen, and urged their citizens to leave the country.

Yemen itself has majorly increased their security measures, deploying hundreds of armored vehicles throughout the capital.

This comes as the US continues it's embassy withdrawals in Muslim countries, due to heightened threat levels.

According to sources, the CIA intercepted a phone conversation between high level members of Al Qaeda.

The conversation made it clear that a terrorist attack was imminent, but not exactly where or when it would occur.

For now, the US and other western nations consider pulling out of the embassies to be a necessary precaution.
