Britain announced Friday it would temporarily close its embassy in Yemen due to the increased chance of a terrorist attack targeting British interests. "There is a high threat from terrorism and evidence that terrorists may target Western, including British, interests in Yemen, the British embassy in Sana'a announced. "Our embassy is currently closed for the weekend and in light of a current, credible threat to western interests the embassy will temporarily suspend services on Saturday 9 April," the embassy said in a statement. ---SP 2257 Local Time 1957 GMT
