A Yemeni appeals court has upheld death sentences against four al-Qaeda militants in deadly attacks that included the assault on the US Embassy and the killing of two Belgian tourists in 2008.

 

Yemen convicted the four last year as part of an al-Qaida cell behind the March 2008 attack on the embassy that killed a school guard in an adjacent building. The men were also convicted of killing two female Belgian tourists in January 2008. (AP)
