Yemeni Interior Ministry: Al-Qaeda cell responsible for attack

A Yemeni Interior Ministry official says that al-Qaeda was behind the attack on the US embassy in Yemen that hit a nearby girls' high school, killing a security guard.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, because he is not authorized to speak to media, the official says that al-Qaeda militant Hamza al-Dayan is the leader of the group which attempted to fire three mortars at the US embassy building last week. (AP)
