The authorities have arrested 30 people suspected of belonging to Al Qaeda in a sweep after an attack on the United States Embassy in Sana, a security official said Thursday. Two suicide car bombs were set off outside the embassy compound on Wednesday, killing 17 people, including 6 attackers. The State Department said the dead included Susan el-Baneh, 18, an American, and her Yemeni husband, who had been in line outside the embassy with relatives applying to visit the United States. The death of a bystander on Thursday raised the toll to 17. A group calling itself Islamic Jihad in Yemen claimed responsibility.
