Egypt Embassy In Yemen

Egypt shut its embassy in Sanaa and recalled all its staff today due to deteriorating security, state media said, joining a diplomatic exodus since Shiite militia seized the Yemeni capital.

Demonstrators attacked the U.S. embassies in Yemen and Egypt on Thursday in protest at a film they consider blasphemous to Islam and American warships headed to Libya after the death of the U.S. ambassador there in related violence earlier in the week.
