A Yemeni man was shot and killed by gunmen on his way to work at the U.S. embassy in Sanaa today (October 11, 2012), according to the Reuters website.
The car carrying Qassem Aglan -- who headed an embassy security team -- was shot at by masked attackers on a motorcycle.
"This (assassination) operation has the fingerprints of al Qaeda which carried out similar operations before," a source said.
Assassination attempts have been frequent since Yemen's army cleared Islamist fighters out of many towns earlier this year, while the U.S. has been on high alert for its embassy staff overseas since the ambassador to Libya was killed with three others on September 11 in Benghazi.
