Yemen has foiled car bomb attacks against three embassies in capital Sanaa as a previously unknown Islamist group named "Qaeda of Jihad" threatened to attack Yemeni officials. Policemen seized three vehicles packed with explosives, which were planned to be used in bombing the US, UK and German embassies, a foreign diplomat in Sanaa said. The new group threatened to stage "wide-ranging assassinations that target Prime Minister Abdul-Qader Ba-Jammal and members of his Cabinet."

It said that 48 suicide combatants were ready to strike.
