Al-Qaeda group tightens grip on Yemen coastal town
An al-Qaeda group tightened its grip on a Yemeni coastal town while in the capital Sanaa a truce was holding on Sunday between President Ali Abdullah Saleh's forces and armed rebels, hours after it was agreed.
Yemen has launched an offensive against al Qaeda and the US embassy in Sanaa reopened after security forces staged a raid just outside the capital that dealt with an imminent security threat.
