3 hurt as RPG targets UK diplomatic car in Yemen
(AFP) – 41 minutes ago

SANAA — Three people were wounded on Wednesday by a rocket-propelled grenade which targeted a British diplomatic vehicle in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, witnesses said.

It was not clear if any Britons were among the wounded, which took place on Khawlan Street, about three kilometres (two miles) from the British embassy.

On April 26, a suicide bomber hurled himself at the British ambassador's two-car convoy in a Sanaa street as it neared the British embassy compound.

The suicide bomber, whose body was torn into pieces, wounded three bystanders and damaged a police escort car as he threw himself at the convoy and detonated his explosive belt.

1. Knowing where a diplomatic vehicle will be at a cetain time requires inside information.
I hope the bystanders will be able to go home to their families soon. As far as the bomber: one less is a good thing.
