The US embassy in Sana’a closed today after three hand grenades were tossed into a nearby school yard during dismissal. Three female students were killed and 15 wounded. Four Yemeni security guards were wounded. The school’s administrator had been involved in a dispute. In the southern town of Abyan, a bombing at an empty local council office wounded five nearby soldiers. Southern Yemen has been rocked by civil unrest since May 2007.
