Marines sent to Yemen to boost embassy security
None
An elite Marine rapid response team has arrived in Yemen's capital in the wake of violent protests at the US Embassy over a film critical of Islam, the Pentagon said Friday, as a nervous Obama administration watched anti-American demonstrations spread across the Middle East and North Africa.
Pentagon press secretary George Little said the decision to dispatch about 50 Marines to Sanaa was partly in response to the violence and partly as a precautionary measure. (AP)
