US Embassy Shuts Down Consular Services In Yemen After Protests

The American Embassy in Yemen has suspended all consular services for two weeks in the wake of protests against a US-made movie, offensive to Islam’s holiest figure, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

The embassy, in a statement issued on Sunday, said it will be “closed for all consular services through September 29,” AFP reported.

It also alerted Americans in Yemen about the potential for demonstrations near the US diplomatic mission.
