SANAA, Sept 25 (KUNA) -- The terrorist attack that targeted the US Embassy
here has not had a negative impact on Sanaa-Washington relations, said Yemeni
Foreign Minister Abu Bakr Al-Qirbi on Thursday.
In a statement to "Al-Meethaq" newspaper, the mouthpiece of the ruling
party, he said, "We found the Americans understanding of the circumstances of
the attack, and they commended Yemen's counter-terrorism efforts."
He said his country was being assisted by the international community in
its fight against terrorism, but noted that "this support is not as strong as
the challenges Yemen is facing, nor the development in acts of terrorism and
vandalism that we have been seeing in recent years." (end)
