Britain’s Foreign Office says it has evacuated all staff from its embassy in Yemen due to increased security concerns.
The moves come shortly after the U.S. State Department ordered non-essential personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Yemen to leave the country following the threat by al-Qaeda that has triggered temporary shutdowns of 19 American diplomatic posts across the Middle East and Africa.
