attack on Indian consulate in Afghanistan kills 9



France said it would close its embassy in Yemen for several days from Sunday and urged its citizens in the country to take precautions because of elevated security threats.

The decision came after similar moves by Britain and Germany, which followed a U.S. decision to issue a travel alert to its citizens and to close embassies temporarily in the Middle East and Africa.

"We have elements that lead us to believe that the threat is very serious and other countries have also taken similar steps," French President Francois Hollande said during a Saturday visit to southwest France focused on agricultural issues.

"Therefore the embassy [in Yemen] will be closed for several days. We are also conscious that we will have to keep up extreme vigilance in the coming weeks, especially for people travelling in the area."

A French Foreign Ministry spokesman confirmed the move but said only that the embassy would be closed on August 4.

Al Qaeda doesn't have to bomb sh!t.. they already won..

The created paranoia throughout 3 nations, forcing them to run scared.. they are sitting back laughing their a$$es off at the reaction.

If they attack the visitors to their country or they attack installations such as embassies
we should respond. This time not with bullets and bombs but with the cancellation of all
aid. All aid, including humanitarian aid. No food, not fuel, nothing and maintain that until
they decide to join the civilized world. We would all be better off over night. We could
use the money, the aid money, to enrich the lives of students, seniors and others who
are citizens who need our help.

..... among others. Pretty much. A few nutjobs have the entire world tippytoeing around and it didn't take much; the ability to manipulate fear is a pretty powerful tool.

Yeah but that's because not all of their threats are empty threats. Many of them are, but some are not.

And the ones that aren't have some pretty heavy casualties.

What promises has BHO kept?

US has al-Qaeda on the run: Obama

 

[Locutus]

The terrorists or Al-Qaeda or somebody anyway, was on the run, or something, we were assured by barry. Not to worry.

*Ya beat me to it Walter.

 

[Cliffy]

Yup! Obama is the head of Al Qaddafi now that bin Ladin is toast. More weapons of mass destruction coming our way, yup.

I wonder who is actually creating all this fear. Who will benefit from it? Follow the money.

 

[darkbeaver]

That's very cynical cliffy I think I can say we all know it's really about our way of life, our family values, our god, these terrorists are just envious of our remarkable goodness.

I can't understand why these super terrorists don't make the announcements themselves you know like dropping all over the west leaflets from terrorist stealth aircraft boosting about the people they will soon eat.
