After the serial blast in delhi , this incident in sanna clearly shows that , these terrorist group can hit any target anywhere in the world.

A car bomb exploded outside the U.S. embassy in Yemen on Wednesday, and a fire was seen blazing in the heavily-fortified compound, Al Arabiya TV reported.

It quoted witnesses as saying that the blast was followed by gunfire. It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties.

recent reports from sanna says that death toll is 16, including six yamenese soldier and an indian womwen.authorities say death toll may rise as several are injured. local militia has taken the responsibility,they are demanding the release of some their ggoup member.

latest update: A group callig itself islamic jehad has teken the responsibility , and threatned tto do so again Arab Gulf targets in Yemani capital.

the group is demanding the release of its group members from jail.

Thanks Amit for updating us. Series of Bomb blast in New Delhi and now  a series of explosions outside  the US embassy in the Yemeni capital Sanaa. Although there is no immediate news of any casualties. Where are we heading?

Amitjha, thanks for getting this story out so quickly. It will now show up on the home page for four hours. If new developments justify it, I'll renew this flag for another cycle.

Amitjha, I like this story. It's good stuff.

What bothers me is how do we really know who is making these bombs? Americans could be making the bombs planting them in cars, and then they go off without the driver knowing with everyone claiming it as a suicide bomber.  Who is to say Americans are not paying people to plant the bombs? We only need to truely examine 911 and see that it was an American job in the beginning of this whole war on terror.....binLadin was an agent for the USA CIA...Are we really that naive to believe the shadow American government who condones torture and secret rendition locations would not be contributing terror for their paychecks in the future?

Amitjha, I like this story. It's good stuff. A previous post on the Asian bombings may be found at Asia: Bomb blasts near US base in Japan and New Delhi markets. Are they related?

Exploding a bomb outside a U.S. Embassy is hardly news...yawn.  It is certainly no indication that those callous enough to kill innocent people are capable of hitting "any target anywhere in the world."  Sounds like would-be terrorist propaganda, to me.

>secret rendition locations. 

Can you put that in other words?  The meaning of rendition is not clear.

Well, one of his ancestors was from Yemen, but they moved prior to world war I. Not much of a connection really.

thanks rahul ,

      it will be tough to corelate the incidents of bombing in different parts ,from japan to new delhi then sanna.........well the one common logic can be the frustration of terrorist group yhe they not getting attantion due to american election, and it can be correlated to impending financial collapse of american finacial system and attantion diverting mechanism.

hi Rhonda j Magnus, 

         thanks for your comment.i accept this story is good as far as news is concerned , but this kind of story should be totally out of our perceptual field , where any incident of death and destruction attracts such a huge response.

thanks mr foneman30, 

      atleast you seems to be not distubed by the killing of innocent. whether it is a propaganda or reality , victims can better explain that.
