Yemen: British ambassador escapes explosion
The British ambassador narrowly escaped what appeared to be a suicide attack on his armored car while traveling to work Monday morning, Yemeni officials said.
British Embassy spokeswoman Chantel Mortimer said the ambassador, Timothy Torlot, was unhurt. The Yemeni officials said the vehicle was passing through a poor neighborhood in the eastern part of San'a when an explosion went off nearby. They said they believed the attacker was wearing an explosives belt and that he was killed in the explosion. (AP)
