Gunmen shot dead a Saudi diplomat and his Yemeni bodyguard in Yemen’s capital of Sanaa on Wednesday. Reuters is reporting the attack, “according to a local security source, was the work of al Qaida. The killing, the latest attack on security officials and politicians in the U.S.-allied state, underscores the challenges facing Yemen since an uprising that began last year toppled President Ali Abdullah Saleh.”
