Britain’s deputy ambassador to Yemen has survived a rocket attack in the capital Sana’a, local security officials say. It was the second major assassination attempt on a British diplomatic target in the country this year. The ambassador, Timothy Torlot, survived a suicide bombing also aimed at his car in April. Four men, including one German national, are currently on trial for that attack. Few details have so far been released on the latest attempt. According to officials, the rocket landed near an armoured car carrying the deputy head of mission at the British embassy, Fiona Gibb, at around 8.15 on Wednesday morning. It missed, though the car was struck by shrapnel. The car, whose windscreen was cracked in the incident, was taking five embassy staff in total to work. At least two bystanders are thought to have been hurt, though it is not known how badly, while one British embassy employee was taken to hospital for treatment to minor injuries.

I know how lucky the British vice ambassador in Yemen survived the mortar terrorist attack, but I strongly suspect Al-CIA-da is at work in Yemen, and the globalist elite may have plans to let their manufactured terrorist organizational asset do its work in destabilizing Yemen and paving the way for a possible U.S. invasion (pray that it does not happen).

Attacks on British embassy, oil company in Yemen


Two separate attacks on foreign interests in Yemen Wednesday left one French national dead and several other people wounded, officials said. The first attack happened on a vehicle east of the capital carrying five British Embassy staff. One person inside the vehicle was hurt along with at least two people outside the car, the British Foreign Office said. The second attack took place at the Sanaa office of the Austrian oil and gas company OMV, when a security guard opened fire. A French national who worked for the company was shot and killed, OMV and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. "This shameful attack on British diplomats will only redouble Britain's determination to work with the government of Yemen to help address the challenges that country faces," British Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement. Eyewitnesses and security officials at the scene said they believed it was a rocket attack on the embassy vehicle, based on rocket fragments they saw at the scene.
