Yemeni security official at US Embassy in Sanaa shot dead, local officials tell AP

Updated at 5:30 p.m. ET: A masked gunman assassinated a Yemeni security official who worked for the U.S. Embassy in a drive-by shooting near his home in the capital Sanaa on Thursday, officials told The Associated Press.

Yemeni officials told the AP the killing bore the hallmarks of an attack by the al-Qaida offshoot in Yemen, but it was too early to determine whether the group was behind it.

The slain official was identified as Qassem Aqlani, a man in his 50s.

He was walking near his home in western Sanaa, when a gunman on a motorcycle opened fire at him and fled the scene. The embassy is located in eastern Sanaa.

In a statement, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said officials were "deeply saddened" by the killing. "We condemn this vicious act in the strongest terms possible and extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends at this difficult time," Nuland said.

"We are coordinating closely with the Yemeni authorities to investigate this attack and to help bring those responsible to justice."
 

Aqlani had been working as a Foreign Service national investigator at the embassy for the last 11 years, the State Department said.

Most recently, he was in charge of investigating a Sept. 12 assault on the U.S. Embassy by angry Yemeni protesters over the anti-Islam film. 

Protesters stormed the embassy and set fire to a U.S. flag before government forces dispersed them with tear gas. That attack came one day after the killings of the Americans in Benghazi.

Anti-US protests over Islam film spread in Middle East

The assassination resembles other attacks recently that have targeted Yemeni intelligence, military and security officials.

Those attacks are believed to be in retaliation for a military offensive by Yemen's U.S.-backed government against Yemen-based Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which Washington considers the most dangerous offshoot of the global terror network.

AQAP has called for attacks on U.S. embassies in a bid to exploit the anti-American sentiment that has swept the Middle East and other parts of the Muslim world in the past month over an anti-Islam film produced in the United States.

Al-Qaida's revenge? Leading Yemen general killed by suicide bomber

Initially, the film was linked to an attack on the U.S. Consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi on Sept. 11 which left four Americans dead including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens. U.S. officials said later the attack was not linked to the video.

AQAP praised the killing of U.S. diplomats in Libya, describing it as "the best example" for those attacking embassies to follow.

AQAP had taken advantage of a security and political vacuum created by last year Arab Spring-inspired uprising and seized territories and cities in the south. The government-led offensive has pushed the militants out to mountainous areas from where they have been staging suicide attacks and assassinations inside cities.

Two weeks ago, a top intelligence official, Col. Abdullah al-Ashwal, was also killed in a drive-by shooting in Sanaa.

Well, now that we're illegally, immorally and anti-Constitutionally involved in Syria's civil war - maybe the dopes in Washington now finally have the excuse they need to move on to Yemen, then Iran- and start a full blown war in the Middle East, and World War 3. Won't THAT be fun?

What did Biden say? Osama is dead and so is al qaida?

http://www.suntimes.com/news/washington/15581902-452/reporter-lara-logan-brings-ominous-news-from-middle-east.html

She explained that the Taliban, al Qaeda and its proxies haven’t gone away and are in fact re-energized and coming back in force. Logan also informed the crowd that a “lie” is being propagated by the American government.

Good luck on that debate tonight....FOOL!

Obama also says that America has come back stronger and al-Qaeda is much weaker.

He continued, "The last decade has been a difficult one, but together, we have answered those questions and come back stronger as a nation. We took the fight to al Qaeda, decimated their leadership, and put them on a path to defeat. And thanks to the courage and skill of our intelligence personnel and armed forces, Osama bin Laden will never threaten America again."

"The attack comes as Yemen's U.S.-backed government is waging an offensive against al-Qaida's branch in the country, taking back territory and cities in the south that the terror group seized last year."

New "mission accomplished" to the past on the lines of Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and so on!

HOTTICKET: Don't you see oil prices are going down from $40 in 2009 to $110 by sanctions on Iranian oil!

With Iraqi wars, you have to understand that Bushes contolled oil prices from $30s to $145.00!!!!

Saddam, the killer, transferred all the dangerous chemical weapons and WMDs to Syria and Iran before he lost the Iraqi wars.

So don't you think to save human beings we have to support al-Qaida, MB and other "love and peace" Salaffi and Wahhabi groups in Syria and Iran?

Actually GW did a great job. If you were not so ignorant you would know our problems did not start till the democrats took control of congress. Look at the spending year to year. GW was a lame duck President for the last two years. Keep looking at the spending, it didn't slow down till the Republicans took over the House. The only thing this administration has ever done is blame someone else for it's failure. We are in worst shape now then 4 years ago and Obama using the Cloven - Piven Strategy now has America only one year from bankruptcy.

If there were security issues raised and not dealt with as in several other recent incidents, the buck stops on the presidents desk because he is in charge, and everyone in the state department follows his direction.

3) If you don't understand the chain of command and the fact that the person at the top is responsible for the actions of his subordinates, you really have no business commenting on an executive branch issue much less a military one.

I'm just stunned. This Yemeni national has worked for the embassy for 20 years. Chances are he was shot because he did his job, because Al Queda could not turn his loyalties and with him out of the way they can place one of their sympathizers in his place to kill Americans working there.

I get that you have no qualms about Americans or even those who work for Americans dying. I also get that you Will looks all around for some scape goat even though this death and the deaths in Libya and the attacks at our other embassy lay squarely at the feet of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The shame of it is that I doubt either care about Embassy workers dying if they can turn the discussion to the Republicans. It is absolutely sickening that the President will use these deaths to promote his re-election. Seriously, he believes the "American People" are so stupid that he still claims that a short film is what incited people to riot and murder. Oh yes it just was a coincidence that all this took place on 9/11. How many homeland attacks is Obama going to allow before he either grows a backbone or allows al queda free range to kill in the heartland of America.

People have to stop blaming this one or that one for every attack that happens in some other country. The world is a dangerous place and always will be. As long as we have people in other countries they will be at risk because we can't station an army at every embassy. This Al Qaida off-shoot will be wishing that the Americans had them once the Yemeni Security gets a hold of them. In my opinion I don't think we need Embassy's in most of these countries it's too expensive and modern communication's have made them obsolete. The only reason we still have most of them is Ambassador jobs are political patronage jobs. They are used as a reward. A fat Check and Pension for friends of those in power. The CIA also uses the Embassy's but I see no advantage in that. Putting a spy agency right where other countries expect it to be makes little sense. Besides half of our Enemies are caused by the CIA doing all kinds of Dirt that we never hear about and probably never will. And the worse thing about the CIA is half the things they do are not done under the direction of our government as a whole. But under the direction of different factions of our government on the right or left that remain in power no matter which party is POTUS. Or who has control of the House or Senate.

Do you harbor the same indifference over the Dr. that is in prison because he supported America to locate Bin Laden? Is he really expendable too? H.

There a many on both sides (D & R) to "blame" for Embassy attacks that are successful. Embassy raids happen all the time, under almost every presidents watch. And people are killed. Attacks of this sort will never go away unless we just shut them all down, in every country -- It is not American to do that sort of thing though.

You are somewhat right there. But you didn't mention. That congress (GOP run congress) controls the funding for those embassies. To include the cost of security. That same GOP run congress just cut $20 billion from their 2012 budget last year. You can't do much without the proper funding.

3) If you don't understand the chain of command and the fact that the person at the top is responsible for the actions of his subordinates, you really have no business commenting on an executive branch issue much less a military one.

I served over 20 years in the military. I'm betting I know a lot more about chain of command then you do. The president is not responsible for the actions of congress. When congress doesn't fund the security of our embassies. Then congress must also accept the responsibility for what happens.

      Dealing with Yemen..we helped oust their government by eliminating military aid and Selesh stepped down. Now we are sending them $337,000,000 and all that seems to be buying us is a dead Ebassy worker? You would think that with 337 Million dollars those who worked for America would have some perception of secuity. Could it be that some of those funds that are supposed to go to Yemen police forces are actually winding up in the hands of Al Queda? Swift response, pull $50 million of those dollars back for Yemen not supporting their citizens. Everytime that Al Queda gets a kill another $50 million off the table. As for a military response...Obama has been taking care of the whole military support since we help oust their President to place a leader of our choosing, you might like CNN's take

No more negotiations with President Obama and SOS Clinton, US Kicked out of Iraq. Strategic Location Loss of Iraq the decreased pressure on the Fundamentalist Islamic Shia Republic of Iran, so then they could concentrate on Afghanistan. The Fundamentalist Islamic Shia Republic of Iran starts increasing their training, funding, arming of (hundreds of thousands) Islamic Jihadists at the Fundamentalist Islamic Autonomous Kurdistanis Region of Northern Iraq, Southern Turkey, Syria, and Northwestern Iran as funded by the Trillions USDs per year of the Mandatory Islamic Tithes.

        Loss of the High Tech Mineral Wealth of Afghanistan to the Chinese, China Metallurgical Group. These High Tech Minerals are necessary for the current US High Tech Standard of Living and Future US Alternative Energy. China places Restrictions on the Export of these High Tech Minerals to the US And US Allies, so most US High Tech must be Made In China.

Closer Logistics to support the Fundamentalist Islamic Hamas Warlords, Army of Islam Gaza, etc.. Closer Locations to Attack US Ally Israel.

        Loss of the Strategic Location of Libya, including the Libyan Oil that was of Strategic Importance to the US European Allies. Mediterranean Ports. Closer locations for the Holy Warriors of Islam to attack the US European Allies aka Crusaders. Libya is the Key Location to the Other Nations of Africa.

        The Fundamentalist Islamic Shia Republic of Iran, their Allies the Chinese and Russian Federation start increasing their Militarises to protect their Recent Gains from the US and US Allies Losses Worldwide. The Fundamentalist Islamic Shia Republic of Iran learned from their mistakes during the Iran Iraq Wars, especially their attempts to close the Strait of Hormuz, and know how to effectively do this now and before the Egyptian Revolution negotiated with the Muslim Brotherhood for Strategic Access to the Suez Canal, believed that the Fundamentalist Islamic Shia Republic of Iran will also control the Suez Canal (US and US Allies must go the long way around Africa). So nope they will NOT let the US And US Allies do a "Do Over".

        President Obama as Commander In Chief Ordered the current Reduction In Forces of 90,000 US Military to be thrown on Unemployment and the Layoffs of the 108,000 US Civilians that supported them. In January 2013, more US Military and US Civilians will be thrown on Unemployment as scheduled by President Obama, plus a US Defense Budget Cut of 11% (over a Million US Civilians thrown on Unemployment*) as stated by President Obama's President's Proposal to US Congress.

        H.R.4655 "Iraqis Liberation Act of 1998" Justification Section 2 Weapons of Mass Destruction (NOT BUSH), Section 3 US Policy Overthrow of President Hussein, as US Military Operation Iraqis Freedom aka Iraq War.

        "Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 - Declares that it should be the policy of the United States to seek to remove the Saddam Hussein regime from power in Iraq and to replace it with a democratic government.

        Authorizes the President, after notifying specified congressional committees, to provide to the Iraqi democratic opposition organizations: (1) grant assistance for radio and television broadcasting to Iraq; (2) Department of Defense (DOD) defense articles and services and military education and training (IMET); and (3) humanitarian assistance, with emphasis on addressing the needs of individuals who have fled from areas under the control of the Hussein regime. Prohibits assistance to any group or organization that is engaged in military cooperation with the Hussein regime. Authorizes appropriations."

        Please point out the invasion strategy. It's talking about providing equipment and supplies for propaganda use. You have tried this same bullsh@t over and over. Which had nothing to do with operation Iraqi freedom or the Iraq war.

        As for WMD's. They had been either removed or distored during Bush 41 or Clinton's time in office. Everyone, except you, now admits that there was no WMD's when the Bush 43 administration said it was. But of course you are just doing what you do best. That is to LIE and keeping lying until you can get someone to believe you.

        from1.41

        I would suggest that our Secretary of State actually do her job in Yemen as she should have done her job for the Dr in Pakistan and as she should have done her job in Libya and most certainly other areas of risk from where they receive daily briefings

        And further in regard to the $337,000,000

        Could it be that some of those funds that are supposed to go to Yemen police forces are actually winding up in the hands of Al Queda? Swift response, pull $50 million of those dollars back for Yemen not supporting their citizens. Everytime that Al Queda gets a kill another $50 million off the table.

        So here is a question or two for you...Why was it necessary for Obama to help oust Saleh and destabalize Yemen? Are you upset that Obama already has troops in Yemen? Are you concerned that of the 2012 aid package to yemen well over 100 million is to train and arm Yemen security forces?

              Rightly said.

              Followers of Islamic cult, especially Sunni Saudi inspired Islamic radicals and militants (al-Qaida, Salaffi, Wahhabi, MB, Taliban and other label ones), are fast marching backwards to their seventh century desert tribal days.

              They are indulging in rapings, lootings, killings and genocides of non-Muslims (Darfur, S. Sudan, Nigeria and spreading like wild fire in many regions and Muslims (Libya, Mali, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan and other places).

              Sunni Saudi backed Salaffi and MB new chapters are opening up in Egypt. Just watch the fate of Christians, women and Israel as the time goes by.

              Even in Syria, if Assad is overthrown by Sunni Islamic religious Nazis like al-Qaida, MB, the conditions of Christians will be unbearable just like Iraq.

              Pakis and Sunni Saudis and co are responsible for 80 percent of world problems including economic ones. Examine the devastations with Iraqi wars and now sanctions on Iranian oil and the resultant oil price manipulations.

              They are making the lives of their own people also miserable by their Islamic religious madness to the intolerable levels.

              Are we not committing hara-kiri by supporting our enemies and killers?

              Well stated! One problem I'd like to point out is, we, the American people are getting our news with a "spin" and seldom really know the truth, or the entire truth re: any world incident. It's all political. The attacks on embassies are constantly manipulated and given the most useful spin, for example": The embassy in Libyia was attacked because of the anti-Muslim film..There was supposedly a street full of protesters, and it mushroomed out of control, blah, blah. As soon as the truth emerged (no protesters, etc), the spin doctors went to work to present the situation in the best light for the President, who is ultimately responsible for the security draw down there and elsewhere. Olive branch to the enemy seems to be his most innovative foreign policy. I am so sick of it.

              lelia,

              Speaking of "spin" and the Uneducated believing the "spin":

              Jonathan-1982062,

              I TOLD YOU BEFORE STOP SPAMING BALONEY.

              FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAMIC (almost Shia) Al Quada International Franchise was created as Anti Sunnis (Moderate Liberal, as allowed by Islam) Saudi Arabian Government.

              Just because they originated in Moderate Liberal Sunni Nations does NOT mean that they are Sunni. Their ACTIONS determine if they are Sunnis or Shia (Fundamentalist Islam).

              Sunnis: Liberal Moderate Interpretation of the Holy Koran (Quran). Belief in Fiqh (Logic) as Law.

              Shia (plural Shiites): Fundamentalist Islamic Interpretation of the Holy Koran (Quran) Only all other Interpretations are Heresy, as to why they kill the Sunnis. Belief in the Shia (Sharia) Laws and the Hadith (Ancient Islamic Customs) Laws.

              The Fundamentalist Islamic Believers (Shia, Shiites) Believe in the Holy Koran's (Quran) 109 Suras of the 114 Suras (majority) Calls to War Against the Christians, Jews, Unbelievers. Those Islamic Believers that do not participate are subject to the Death Penalty. Collaborators to the Christians, Jews, Unbelievers are subject to the Death Penalty "To Dwell in that Firey Place".

              This is where the Western World especially the News Media f**ks up at, by not listing who is Fundamentalist Islam and instead uses misnomers like "conservative" Islam. As well as the Western Limiting Term of "Religion" regarding the Islamic Belief, as for Fundamentalist Islam, Islam is ALL, All Politics, All Religion, All Culture, All Ways of Life, All History, All Customs, etc..

              It is also a BIG mistake for the Western World to marginalize the numbers of Holy Warriors of Islam as funded by the Trillions USDs per year of Mandatory Islamic Tithes by saying "Radicalized", "Extremist" as if their are only a few hundred and not the almost Millions. As these Mandatory Islamic Tithes of Trillions USDs per year allow the Holy Warriors of Islam to live a better life than scratching a stick in the ground to barely survive, and they also are praised by the Imams at the Mosques Worldwide as Islamic Superstars doing Allah's Work as the Hand(s) of Allah.

              The use of the minority of 1.8 million Islamic Believers living at the US is also a mistake, as they do NOT determine what Islam is or is not for the Majority of over 1.5 Billion Islamic Believers Worldwide.

              A common trait of Fundamentalist Islamic Believers (Shia, Shiites) is to shoot the Sunni in the face while the Sunni is attempting to Negotiate ("Empty Words"), as the Fundamentalist Islamic Believers (Shia, Shiites) believe in what works, "The Dead Do NOT Complain". This is why there are less and less Sunnis and more Fundamentalist Islamic Shia (Shiites).

And this unseen "video" had nothing to do with the eruptions in the middle east. Those people don't need anything to go "off" on anyone they choose.

"Those people" (extremists) need every reason to "go off" -- They use every "thing" we do as a reason to go off -- Our beliefs, ideals and everything it means to be "American". The killing of our Ambassador was planned, but the video DID excite riots in the Middle East.

                    My opinion on it is that we may need to beef up surveillance from the inside and be looking for additional moves against the embassy. The folks likely responsible for this are known for cutting the head off before spearing at the heart. They may have seen this guy as the head.

                    To those saying that this was W's fault because of budget cuts to state, it absolutely has nothing to do with that. Even if we had 50 guys inside the compound being paid by state and 100 marines paid by military, this guy still would have been driving on his way to work without escort.

                    We have no roles in century old Shiites vs Sunni battles. We are crippled from all sides.

                    Just enjoy the battles between them. Even Jews should show some patience.

                    Shiites should start their own battles for Shiastan in Yemen.

                    See the jokes going in Syria with Sunni Saudi rebels, al-Qaida, MB on one side and the Assad’s forces on the other sides!

                    Just check all languages of the media, UN Security council, human rights groups, Erdogan’s, and others! These are paid pipers of Sunni Saudis, oil companies and their lobbyists.

                    Shiites and Sunnis are busy battling whose Allah is greater.

                    What roles Hillarys, McCains, Netanyahos, Libernanns, Romneys have in Syria and Iran?

                    If atrocities and barbarism on girls, children and women are the criteria, then the most despotic, autocratic and bigoted Sunni Saudi ruler with his 5000 princes and princesses, Kuwaiti, UAE and other Arab League Sunni rulers and their rich sheiks are the biggest culprits in the history.

                    In killing of opponents again, these people have established world records in religious battles.

                    If the US, Britain and others support such Sunni barbarians and beasts who treat girls and women as cheap sex slaves, then one can only conclude that Saudis, oil companies and their lobbyists determine what to see, how to lecture and where and when to act.

                    Rest like “human rights”, “killing of children and women”, “militants”, “terrorists”, “WMDs”, “chemical weapons” and so on are a pure hoax.

                    Similar hoaxes were played each time before Iraqi wars on directions of Saudi, oil companies and their lobbyists.

                    Now none of them are looking into Iraq, where at least a million have been killed and devastated.

                    Twice are too much to tolerate.

Obama has shown his ability for foreign affairs. he doesn't know anything about. even when he was chairman of the committee of european affairs. he didn't have any meeting of this committee. he was -guess what. thinking of running for president. that was more important than to do the job he was assigned to do. he still is campaigning. no wonder wee are in such trouble. and he knows it. can't spin only lie and this is what is caused by lies. bye-bye obama.

                        @Maxwell's Silver Hammer,

                        Yes because it will probably avoid the pending civil war here if Obama gets elected to a second term. The so called 99%ers against the so called 1%ers. Yes, I don't trust Obama. He promised to cut the debt in half his first term. Instead, he added $6 trillion more to the debt in less than four years. A simple cut to PBS proposed by Romney during the debate has liberals up in arms. It is especially sad that pet projects like that are funded by the government when roughly $.50 of the dollar our government spends is borrowed from China. Liberals don't get that fact. I would rather make smaller sacrifices now than have to face the crisis at later time. Obama's attitude towards the "Big Bird" cuts are outrageous. His opinion on that very subject shows no serious effort to reduce the deficit. Sorry but tough times call for tough measures. All hell is going to break loose if he keeps spending like he has been every year. The deficit will not be a measly $22 trillion but closer to $25 to $26 trillion near the end of his second term because the interest will accrue even faster. Our currency will be devalued at that point. Government employees won't get paid. Just look at Greece to see what our future holds! I am stocking up on guns and ammo now so that I can defend what is mine and be able to live off of the land.

                        At least, Americans will have crappy national healthcare coverage by that point. LOL

                          All these "bumps in the road" are turning into a regional sinkhole. Security issues in the middle east are pathetic not because of insufficient funds but rather insufficient leadership.

The events that happened YESTERDAY are probably W's fault. Just track this discussion and I guarantee you that some little liberal shi* will find a way to blame W.

                              There were 2 (two)gunmen on thew motorcycle by the way- who opened fire on the the US Embassy SECURITY chief Qassem Aqlan's car killing him. Didn't Obama himself declare that Al Qaeda is fading away whn even NYT is reporting the opposite. Quelle horreur- facts are different. The problem with Obama/HRC-State is self-evident. They are exporting jobs to non-American security personnel not answerable to US when it comes to the safety and security of US diplomats/embassies/consulates/US personnel in US programs. Al Qaeda is intensifying their ops all around - read real news-unfiltered,unbiased like news used to be. Is Obama/HRC-State taking precautions re" November 4th 2012 premier on TV 'Obama killed OBL'- all around the world protecting US diplomats/embassies/consulates?

                              Not to get into any of the arguments here, I really wish journalists would write their stories better. In the headline and the first sentence, it states he was killed "at the US Embassy". However on the next mention it states that he was killed "while on his way to work"... Which is it? He could have been nowhere near the embassy, and therefore on completely foreign soil.

                              Or it could be the title they've assigned him "the Yemeni chief of security at the U.S. Embassy"...

                              Stories are spouted out so quickly these days, and therefore written so quickly, and result in misleading articles way to often.

                              Quick someone make another stupid YouTube video for the cover-up. That Susan Rice chick is free to do it and doesn't seem to be very busy lately after all the TV lies.

                              Duh, nothing to do with the video, now obama, hillary, jay c. and demos admit it, they had to have time to cover up their incompetence. Did ya hear?? obama supporters don't chant 4 more years, now it's 4 more weeks and start packing.

                              Another attack on an embassy within a month? The enemy is playing hardball and our current President wants to make nice. But don't worry, he'll launch a few missiles and claim how strong that makes him and the country look. Reality is he has kept us hooked on oil dependency and it has to stop. We can drill our own and tell all the Muslim oil suppliers to go to .... .

                              These problems were exasperated by little George's brainless egotistical tactics. He used America's power and strength as a CLUB in the middle East - to beat his brainless policies into those people. America's power and strength works best when it is used as a baton, by directing the world symphony - as Obama knows and understands.

                              See what happens when you run away from the world, Barry? Not only did they kill our Ambassador in Libya, now they're taking shots at anyone who works with us in other countries.

                              You're still a super stud Barry, you really are. Don't worry about this one either, it will all blow over if you just hide.

                              You may be a commonamerican, which is a serious problem since our history is one of using or killing the labor of the red, black and yellow people who were here or were brought to this continent.

                              It's all about the few making money off labor.

                              I get the feeling you are probably one who takes/makes money off OTHER PEOPLE'S LABOR.

                              By the sound of his posts, I doubt he's a CEO.

                                Don't you understand? Video? Terrorist attack?

                                It's all the same thing. They hate U.S.A. and they'll attack us whenever they please.

                                The reasons don't really matter, do they? The end game is always the same. Attack the USA.

                                That's all...

                                  widget- so you thinks it's ok for stevieboy to not just call the President of the U.S. derogatory names but to also falsely accuse him of murdering agents and assaniating ambassadors? while i'm not a lib, your comments show how foolish and extreme you people on the far right have come and yet you wonder why the libs fight you- there are people in this country who still believe in demoracy and they seem to be mostly on the left and not in Texas
