The Yemeni Parliament called the American forces to leave
the country immediately, after about 150 from the American Marines forces
arrived to Sana’a after angry demonstrators
stormed and looted the US embassy in protest over American-Israeli film
deemed abusive to Islam and prophet Mohamed.
"We do not accept any foreign forces in Yemen, be it
small or big forces, and for any reason," said a statement by the
Parliament on Saturday. The Parliament asked the government to protect all
foreign missions in Yemen. The statement condemned the anti-Islam film ( the
Innocence of Muslims) and called for
putting the film makers on trial.
Meanwhile, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula called Muslims
to kill more American diplomats saying that the film was only a new chapter of
a Crusade war on Islam. " Follow the example of the Libyans, grandsons of Omar Al
Mukhtar," said the statement in a clear reference to the killing of
American ambassador in Libya last week.
Four people were killed and 48 other injured including 10
soldiers last Thursday when angry protester stormed the US embassy in Sana’a.
61 cars were completely damaged, and 13 were burnt and one was stolen.
One of those killed was buried on Saturday in Sana’a and his
father said during the funeral that the America Marines killed his son. This
would create additional anti-American sentiment.
